Here is everything you need to know about getting into oil
painting-and maintaining a safe, solvent-free oil painting
practice—in a slim, sophisticated guide. Oil painting is an
exciting and adventurous medium, but aspiring artists can feel
daunted by complex setups and the thought of using harsh chemicals.
All of that changes now. The New Oil Painting walks you
step-by-step through oil painting fundamentals-which materials you
actually need, how to mix paint, how to set up your painting
space—and, most revolutionary of all, how to eliminate harmful
solvents from your work and replace them with safe, effective
substitutes. This instructional handbook is organized into chapters
with helpful diagrams throughout illustrating various techniques
and tools. Whether you're a true beginner or have been painting
with oils for years, you will find that this book has everything
you need to build a new, thriving, solvent-free practice. •
UNIQUE APPROACH: Not only does this book help aspiring artists
build a repertoire of skills and materials, it also offers all
artists, regardless of their experience levels, methods for
eliminating solvents and other toxic substances from their oil
painting practices. What was once a dangerous pastime is now a
guilt-free, health-conscious, and rewarding activity. And using
safe, nontoxic materials is better for the environment! •
LONG-TERM USE: Good art instruction can deliver over a long period
of time, and this handy guide is no exception. Along with being
able to use this as an entryway into oil painting, you can also use
it for reference or reread sections when you need a brushup. •
