Oils: Step-by-Step Art School

Beginning painters can succeed on their very first attempt by following a new approach to painting that's distilled into ten easy sequences. The process starts with tips on choosing a workable subject, then moves into a series of skill practices on a separate sketchpad. Once the painter feels comfortable with the techniques, it's time to transfer them onto the painting, with fully illustrated instructions of each step, and finished paintings that highlight each skill practice. Next come the secrets of color mixing and the use of pencils and brushes, as well as advice on establishing tonal areas, layer buildup, object edges, colors, highlights, light and shadow, and background. The final sequence: applying the finishing touches that make the painting look professional.

This introduction to the observation and use of weather in painting covers oils, acrylics, watercolour and pastels, dealing not only with the physical representation of weather in paint, but also with the way it affects mood and the entire composition. The weather influences every aspect of outdoor painting - light, tone, composition and mood. This book demonstrates how to capture these effects on paper, using a variety of media. Beginning with practical advice on sketching and painting outside, the book moves on to suggestions for equipment and coping with the problems of painting outdoors, in various types of weather - clouds, sun and shadows, fog and mist, snow and ice and stormy weather. Each chapter contains at least one major practical demonstration of working up a picture from start to finish. A gallery of work by professional artists is included.
