Both amateur and professional artists agree: oils are the medium of choice, the most popular way to paint. And, the variety of high-quality colors available in tubes has made them simpler and more versatile than ever. Some people apply oil paint thickly, building it up on the canvas until the surface resembles a relief sculpture. Others use it in thin, transparent washes, almost like a watercolor. Plus, oils work equally well for rapid, spontaneous sketches or full-scale studio canvases. The important question is: What method is best for you? Find out what you can and cannot do with these paints and try a full complement of creative techniques from masking, mixed media, and monoprinting to scumbling and sgraffito. Make brushwork more expressive, add shadows, and break color. Breathtaking examples of finished paintings by well-known artists, analyzed in detail, guide you through a range of themes, including architecture, figures, landscape, skies, still lifes, and water.
