Oils (Step by Step Art School Series)

All in color! Oils remain the champion of all paints, with rich texture and exquisite color. Make the most of this gorgeous medium by establishing a lively surface with interesting brushwork and color combinations. Paint an atmospheric Misty Mountains scene to start. Two still lifes, one of yellow tulips and the other of peppers and lemons, show off pure, clean hues and graceful shapes. Demonstrate light and shade by depicting a kettle; a hat and denim jacket; or a pool house. Round out your skills with stippling knife painting, sgraffito, trompe l'oeil, and figure painting. Trim size: 8 1/4 x 11.
