This...Actually, I think this is a fine start, Rose. This is your second oil painting after all!<BR/><BR/>Another book I'd recommend is Oil Painter's Solution Book (Landscapes) by Elizabeth Tolley. It covers a broad range of basic to mid-level guidelines. Even though it specifically speaks about landscapes, the information is easily translatable to other subjects. <BR/><BR/>Actually, now that I think of it there are a few books I could recommend. Landscape Painting Inside and Out by Kevin MacPherson is also helpful. I particularly like his focus on a limited palette.Jeffrey W.

Experimenting with values and colours is all part of the learning process.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion would be to keep looking at paintings of others work that you enjoy or are influenced by. Each painting brings you closer to what you want. Keep going!Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763069141160534518.post-26481443979176276752008-08-11T08:10:00.000-04:002008-08-11T08:10:00.000-04:00don't forget to use the paint thin and washy as we...don't forget to use the paint thin and washy as well as thick and buttery to get variety <BR/><BR/>and glazes - thin washes of slightly oilier colour over dry paint - it gives beautiful subtle glow and variation in colours<BR/><BR/><BR/>it IS fun!vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763069141160534518.post-52137324318325194772008-08-11T02:30:00.000-04:002008-08-11T02:30:00.000-04:00You are having fun, right?
