Book excerpt: Here is everything you need to know about getting into oil painting—and maintaining a safe, solvent-free oil painting practice—in a slim, sophisticated guide. Oil painting is an exciting and adventurous medium, but aspiring artists can feel daunted by complex setups and the thought of using harsh chemicals. All of that changes now. The New Oil Painting walks you step-by-step through oil painting fundamentals—which materials you actually need, how to mix paint, how to set up your painting space—and, most revolutionary of all, how to eliminate harmful solvents from your work and replace them with safe, effective substitutes. This instructional handbook is organized into chapters with helpful diagrams throughout illustrating various techniques and tools. Whether you're a true beginner or have been painting with oils for years, you will find that this book has everything you need to build a new, thriving, toxin-free practice. • UNIQUE APPROACH: Not only does this book help aspiring artists build a repertoire of skills and materials, it also offers all artists, regardless of their experience levels, methods for eliminating solvents and other toxic substances from their oil painting practices. What was once a dangerous pastime is now a guilt-free, health-conscious, and rewarding activity. And using safe, nontoxic materials is better for the environment! • LONG-TERM USE: Good art instruction can deliver over a long period of time, and this handy guide is no exception. Along with being able to use this as an entryway into oil painting, you can also use it for reference or reread sections when you need a brushup. • EXPERT AUTHOR WITH IMPRESSIVE CREDENTIALS: Painter Kimberly Brooks was the founding arts editor at Huffington Post. As a painter, she exhibits her work frequently throughout the United States and was a featured artist with the National Endowment for the Arts. She has led oil painting workshops, and now she shares her vast knowledge of the subject in this accessible and comprehensive handbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve your perception and use of colour in oil paint and gain many practical insights into techniques, set up and more in this fantastic book from the artist John Collier. Broken down into sections on the Practical and Theory of painting Collier is particularly useful for those looking to paint (or study) in his own Pre-Raphaelite style, although any student of oil painting would do well to study his techniques. The section on Theory discusses colour in a way very different to modern teachers, so while it may be difficult to understand for some others may find that it suits their mind and opens up new concepts. Collier was particularly well known for his use of colour, portraits and history painting, and his skills in these areas shine through in the advice he gives in A Manual of Oil Painting. This makes this little book a must read for those interested in the art of his period from both practical and academic perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MR. COLLIER'S "MANUAL OF OIL-PAINTING." [To The Editor of The "Spectator."] Sir, --In the review of my " Manual of Oil-Painting," in your issue of February 12th, two methods of painting are contrasted. "Get your details right bit by bit, says our author in other words, and modify them subsequently till your effect is accurate." That, according to the reviewer, is the wrong method. "Get your effect true from the first, says the French master, and then your details will fall naturally into their right place, and at the worst you will be working on a foundation of truth." That, according to the same authority, is the right method. Now, the odd part of it is that I cordially agree with my reviewer. The method that he puts forward as the precise contrary of mine is the very one that I advocate, as I can conclusively show by reference to my book. Here is the gist of my system. The first day's painting consists in matching the tints of "every considerable patch of colour or light and shade in the object, until the canvas is completely covered. This is the first day's painting, and the result of it should be that the picture, "when seen at some distance," should give "a good idea of the general look of the object without any of its details." The next stage is to carefully look over the general effect, and to correct any tones that seem to require it. "When the general tones appear quite right," "the larger details should be put in." "In the subsequent paintings," "finer and finer details" are added until the picture is finished. This is my method, described in the words used in the "Manual." What can be plainer? --I am, Sir, &c., John Collier.
