Art Instruction Book - OIL PAINTING - The Oil Painter's Bible by Marylin Scott

An essential reference for the practising artist.

Learn how to use and enjoy one of the most satisfying painting mediums with this handy compact guide book that explains all the materials, techniques and different approaches to painting with oils.

Oil paint is such a responsive and versatile medium that no two painters need use it in exactly the same way, and since its invention in Renaissance times it has never lost its popularity with artists. Amateurs also find it appealing, both because it is enjoyable to use and because mistakes can be so easily rectified.

Step-by-step sequences show how to paint a range of themes, from still life to portraits and landscapes, with advice on more difficult subjects.

There are also suggestions for presenting your finished paintings and how to go about getting your work seen and exhibited.

Marylin Scott, a respected practical art author, is a professional artist who works across a wide range of media. She studied painting at the Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy of Painting in London.
