Overview
The Beauty of Oil Painting Book 4 contains 26 paintings from the new TV series of The Beauty of Oil Painting with 4 step breakdowns and comprehensive descriptions. The paintings in this book are meant to “Kick Start” your imagination. By using not only oil paints, but also using acrylic paints for some of the backgrounds, it opens up a possibly new way of painting for you to explore. Using the mixed media has been a fun way for us to paint, especially when painting our exotic animals, birds and fish as well as the flowers. You can get some very interesting effects with the acrylic in the backgrounds. Acrylic can be used with little or no water and can be painted to look like an oil painting. By using a lot of water with the paint, it can be made to look like a water color. The possibilities are endless. Imagine, Experiment and Create, that’s what painting is all about. Use very good paints; Paints with plenty of “Pigment Power”. These will give you the vibrant and true colors that will make your painting pop. You want to be noticed, whether you are painting a beautiful pastel painting or an intensely colored painting, or a soft and serene subject or a strikingly dramatic subject. When you start to learn to paint, you will start to see the world a little differently then most other people. You will see things in much more detail, see more colors and designs and just learn to notice and feel things around you more. One of the things we often say is, people look, but they do not really see the things that they are looking at. Well, the artist really does see what they are looking at. Many artists may also appreciate and enjoy things around them more. You never stop learning to paint. It’s a lifetime process. Each time we sit down at the easel, it’s like a new beginning, a new journey. Travel along with us trough this book, and we will show you how to paint the beautiful florals in the “Jenkins Style of Oil Painting”. Gary & Kathwren Jenkins
