Description

High-quality realistic art is a comprehensive visual synthesis of knowledge and observation. The artist perceives the world that surrounds them with different eyes than people in everyday life. They are interested in the essence of the things they want to depict and dissect the laws of nature that determine the appearance of things. The book Realistic Oil Painting will teach you the necessary basics to realistically depict any subject you choose. In the first part of this book, you will learn how light and shadow affect the color and appearance of things around us, how to mix the right color you need, exactly what types of underpaintings and what colors are most suitable for underpainting, and especially how to put this theoretical knowledge into practice. Therefore, the second part of the book is devoted to practical examples of painting individual subjects using various painting techniques. This book aims to acquaint the reader with the basic issues of layered and direct painting and thus becomes a practical guide for every artist. Read more

    • Some useful information.
Author Jan Matejak provides a look at his traditional layered process of oil painting, with a range of useful techniques demonstrated and discussed. Experienced painters may find some of it very helpful. That said, he is quite dogmatic about his process, and it's painfully evident English is not his first language. Some editing would have helped greatly. ... show more

    • Reference
This is a great reference book, full of practical guidelines for painting in a classical technique. The author uses simple and direct language for the instructions. Photo references are excellent. I suggest checking his YouTube channel.

Well written and very helpful for learning the older techniques and using them effectively for contemporary paintings of quality. Will recommend this book for my intermediate students or anyone who wants to learn how to use glazing successfully.

    • Excellent Oil Painting book
Great book for artists to learn layered oil painting like old masters. There is one drawback. It did not cover on how much to thin oil paints out of tube before those oil paints lose their strength or ability to last.
