About this ebook
This book describes a very different approach to oil painting and will take you through some crucial guiding principles and methods. It will guide you in using a variety of painting surfaces, perhaps many you have never thought of trying and how to stage your work so that you avoid over working and the dreaded ‘mud’.
It will provide a very practical approach to brushes, palettes, oil paint, additives, colour mixing and vitally creating the appropriate paint consistencies that can make the difference between a good and mediocre painting.
You will find a very pragmatic and down to earth approach to creating your own compositions and find out why some compositions work and others do not. There is a full explanation of the painting process, a stack of tips and tricks, dos and don'ts and a full painting sequence demonstration so you can see how and why my methods work.
