Great Techniques
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Full of the basics of painting with oils, such as composition and colors. Also does a brief run through of techniques used by the artist who made them famous. Teaches you to mix and paint a full painting with only 3 colors, as well as provides examples of warm, cold, and broken palettes and how to mix them with only 3 colors. If you are looking to improve your understanding of colors and how they work together as well as learn new methods for painting I don't think you will be disappointed.
