Painters Tip


When you paint with oils, remember to stick with the lean to fat system, not just for archival purposes but for paint control and brushwork. One of the biggest mistakes for beginning painters is too much paint too soon in the process. Nice thin strokes will gradually build the platform for heavier paint work later in the painting. Keep the paint layer thin as long as you can so that the last few strokes can be textured,full of depth, and rich in color. The key to good oils is nice crisp paint without muddying everything up. The thinner the paint, the more control you will have over the process. Mud and neutrals are great as long as they are deliberate, but a huge mess when they result in lack of brushwork control. Keep it clean and beautiful.
