Oil Painting for Beginners: Learn How to Paint with Oils - An Essential Guide to Oil Painting Techniques, Tips, Tools, and Supplies

Have you ever stared in awe at a beautiful oil painting? If so, have you ever checked out the little price tag placed on the wall next to it? Most likely it was a hefty one, since many of the best oil paintings are a product of countless hours of work at the hand of a passionate artist. Oil painting, while not a quick pursuit by any means, can in fact prove to be relatively easy for a novice painter. This is mainly due to the slow drying nature of the paint which allows you to revisit and alter your masterpiece at your discretion. So whether you're new to painting altogether, or you're already an artist simply looking to add a new medium to your repertoire, oil painting is a great technique to adopt. It's not only emotionally soothing, but you'll end up with a beautiful piece of work that you can either display in your own home, or sell to a lucky bidder in order to make some extra cash. Whatever your intention is, this book is designed to get you started on the right path. I'll help you select and purchase the supplies you need to get started; I'll help you understand the essentials of oil painting; and I'll help you develop more confidence in controlling the medium. Although this book utilizes the genre of still life painting in order to get the information across, the techniques discussed can be incorporated similarly into any other genre. If you're ready to learn everything you need to know, including how to begin your painting; the importance of underpainting; how to add shadows, highlights, color, and blending; and how to clean up and finish your paintwork, then let's get started!
