This second book in the series provides ten further step-by-step demonstrations designed to fulfil any newly-acquired set of oil painting materials. Opportunities can be found in the form of bluebells, snow, glass, grapes, a lemon, a Monet classic, a canyon, a dramatic sunset, a hillside and a Cornish inlet.
Systems include blending, impasto, pointillism, glazing, alla prima and more. By the end of this book, the artist will have a full understanding of each technique and how to practice them.
Every demonstration lists the art materials required and a project overview, comprising an introduction to each project, project features and challenges. Step-by-step images and in depth instructions ensue, guiding the artist through each project from start to finish.
Projects vary in complexity, but most have been completed in one or two sessions, amounting to no more than three hours in total. Diagrams along the way help simplify each challenge.
Guidance on the art materials and the preparatory processes are supplied within the back of this book, along with a further guide on how to prepare your own oil painting surfaces. With glossary and abundant colour images.
Note: The demonstrations within this book are now available within a 3 book in 1 compilation entitled: 30 Bite-Sized Oil Painting Projects on 6 Colour Themes.
