Oil painting refers to the technique of painting using pigments together with a medium of drying oil as the binder. Common drying oils used include poppy seed oil, linseed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. This vintage book contains a complete guide to oil painting for artists new and old, offering them information on materials and tools, as well as simple instructions that will walk the reader through the first steps to becoming a competent oil painter. Contents include: How to Approach the Subject , On General Drawing and Planning Out , Materials Recommended , First Working of Figure Subjects , The Practice of Still Life and the Copying of Good Pictures for Style , The First Working in Colour of Figure Subjects , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
