Oil Painting Workbook

Oil Painting Workbook by Stan Smith

Oil paint is regarded as the medium for artists, but its reputation and importance in the art world often leads beginners and amateur artists to be too daunted to tackle it. Here, Stan Smith makes oils accessible to all in a course of ten lessons. He takes the reader on an easy path, explaining each principle and approach in a simple and logical way, so that each stage can be understood before the next is encountered. Each lesson opens with a set of aims followed by clear instructions, practical examples, step-by-step demonstrations (describing what is happening and why) and finished paintings to illustrate principles. Smith explains the versatility of oil paint, showing how to take advantage of its slow drying time - which means that paint remains flexible and mistakes can be easily rectified. He encourages the reader to experiment, leaving room for artistic integrity, whilst explaining the fundamentals in a straightforward fashion.

Stan Smith had a long pedigree of teaching both art students and amateur artists. He was a part-time lecturer at the Royal College of Art and for almost a decade was Head of Fine Art at the University of Oxford. He exhibited regularly in the UK, contributed to many publications, and was the author of many books on painting and drawing including The Complete Drawing Course and The Complete Watercolour Course.
