Water-Mixable Oils
A Beginner’s Guide to Painting in this Vibrant Medium
Sarah Wimperis
Description
Discover the merits of working with water-mixable oil paints in this accessible beginner's guide.
The book starts with an introduction to the medium and explains what water-mixable oils are. This introduction is followed by several sections on materials, preparation (how to care for your brushes, storing your paints, and so on), colour (selecting your basic, or capsule, palette), mixing the paints and preparing your surfaces.
The first project explains how to explore colour to paint in the style of Vincent van Gogh. Five longer projects touch upon the themes of abstraction, still life, landscapes, buildings and working from a photograph, all of which capitalize on the rich qualities of the paints. Each project is accompanied by a clear list of materials needed as well as top tips and skills practised. The author also interjects with useful anecdotes and words of wisdom garnered from her experience working in this vibrant and exciting medium.
Finally discover how best to store and transport finished paintings, especially if the paint is still tacky to the touch, and how to frame a painting for impact.
