About the Author:
A comprehensive and superbly illustrated book on the materials, techniques and inspiration of painting in oils.

Includes all the techniques specific to painting in oils – glazing, impasto, scumbling, drybrushing, blending – and informed advice on how to set up a studio and store your paintings safely.
