Synopsis

"Nothing beats the richness and versatility of painting with the time-honored medium used by the Old Masters—it simply has no comparison! Oil paints, which dry slowly, allow ample time to layer and blend complex, deep colors that retain their vibrancy when fully dried. Now you too can capture the beauty of nature and create gorgeous landscapes in the magical medium of oil. Painting in Oil includes comprehensive, easy-to-follow instructions for painting a variety of subjects. Using this instructional book is the perfect way to start building your proficiency with this classic medium."
