10 Bite-Sized Oil Painting Projects: Book 3 Practice Mark-Making & Alla Prima via Still Life, Animals, Woodlands & Skies

This third book in the series provides ten further step by step demonstrations for the artist wishing to experiment with the versatile medium of oil colours without having to look for inspiration.

Subject matter has been selected for the variety of visual textures and colour schemes on display. Projects have then been completed in one session within a couple of hours without retouching. The effect sought after is a rustic vitality without the fuss of high detail or polish via diverse mark-making and simple colour mixing.

Projects include a dog's profile, a flamingo, woodlands, topiary gardens, a daffodil, an onion, a sunset, a Cezanne classic, a riverside retreat and a footbridge.

A project overview precedes each demonstration which comprises an outline, project features and challenges. Step by step images and in depth instructions ensue, guiding the artist from start to finish.

Guidance on the art materials, preparatory processes and a glossary are supplied within the back of this book. As can be seen, a blank art surface need not impede one's first journey into oil painting.

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.
