This best-selling title will be relaunched in June 05 with a fresh new cover design. Alwyn Crawshaw has a very loyal following among amateur painters, and this book provides all the information the beginner needs to start painting in oils. The traditional medium of oils is sometimes regarded as a difficult one but in this book well-known and respected TV artist Alwyn Crawshaw explains all the techniques in a clear and straightforward way -- ideal for the novice. He describes the materials required, gives useful advice about mixing colours, and covers topics such as drawing, using a palette knife and working from sketches. There are many practical exercises and step-by-step demonstrations, and a range of subjects is included, such as still life, landscapes, seascapes, boats and flowers.
