Over the years, I have taught hundreds of people to paint using a method I developed specifically for my workshops. Students have ranged from professional artists to complete beginners, some that had never even thought of drawing or painting before.I painted for many years in acrylic. I still love acrylics for some subjects, but for others, I definitely want to choose oils. My personal take on those two mediums is that acrylics are harder to do but easier to learn and oils are easier to do but harder to learn! The good news is, with a few simple techniques and some clear instruction, you can circumvent all the pitfalls that normally come with learning to paint in oils and jump right into the easier part! In this book, you will learn: the most important thing to understand when it comes to realismhow to begin a painting so that it is ultimately successfulhow to easily mix the colours you seewhat supplies to buy and how to use themhow to paint fur and other textureshow paint eyes that come to lifepainting backgrounds that work Discover the keys to painting lifelike portraits of dogs with plenty of step-by-step illustrations for every part of the process.Welcome to my Workshop!
