This is a glorious 25th anniversary reissue of this classic book.
Illuminating & fascinating, it covers the classic art
techniques perfected by 16th and 17th century masters. These
include Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Titian & Reuben, all enhanced
with full-colour demonstrations.This illuminating and fascinating
book, reissued for the 25th anniversary of its publication, covers
the techniques perfected by 16th and 17th century masters, studying
protraits by Titian, Caravaggio, Reubens and Rembrandt and many
more. In this unique book, Joseph Sheppard, a leading contemporary
painter, shows you in detailed, full-colour demonstrations the
variety of oil painting techniques perfected by the old masters.
The techniques Sheppard describes cover the full spectrum from the
direct painting (alla prima) of Rubens and Hals to the elaborate
underpainting and glazing methods of Rembrandt and Titian. Each
chapter is devoted to a different master covering his background,
style and techniques.
Oils give a rich, majestic quality to a painting but may often be
deemed too tricky or ambitious to try. This practical book puts the
joy of painting with oils within reach of all who want to develop
their skills. Examples of landscape, marine, nude and equestrian
paintings will inspire and show the rich diversity, texture and
depth that oil painting can achieve. Written by a professional
painter, it encourages artists of all levels to experiment with the
medium and to develop their art.
