This step-by-step, gorgeously illustrated entry into the popular "Painting Class" series introduces all the materials, techniques and styles needed to become comfortable with oil painting. Find out about the properties and ingredients of oil paint and how to mix your own and work with solvents and dryers. Learn when and how to use brushes and spatulas to shape the paint; how to create realistic flesh-tones; and how to "model" oils without blending brushstrokes. You'll also learn the characteristics of warm, cool and neutral colours and how to approach figure drawing, still-lifes and landscapes.
