How to Get the Most Out of your Oil Painting
Learning how to become a good oil painter is a difficult undertaking. In fact, it is more than likely one of the most difficult painting mediums to master. Things like color mixing & theory, perspective, techniques and materials can really intimidate a beginner artist.
You Asked – Applying Glazes….
Today’s question comes from Roy and he asks:
“Currently I am using acrylic paint to do wild life and was looking for some helpful tips on applying glazes to large areas (say 9″ high by 36″ wide) and still maintain a uniform colour throughout the entire area. Can this be achieved with certain brushes, rollers, etc. Small size areas don’t seem to pose a problem, however, larger ones do, I want to avoid brush strokes and want to creat a uniform colour. If anyone could help that would be great!”
How to Paint Darks and Shadows in Watercolor by Mara Mattia
About Mara
I enjoy being an artist! And I’ve been at it longer than this internet blogging stuff. In fact, blogging is all new to me! So I will start by telling you a little about myself. Our nest is not quite empty because we still enjoy the presence of our college-aged kids at home. And because they are busy with work and school I am able to enjoy uninterrupted painting sessions during the day-light hours instead of in the middle of the night like I did when they were little. A bit here, a bit there and I keep my projects alive! One project I’m working on is a cookbook. Originally written for my husband and children, I re-structure classic recipes we love, to make them healthier. I’m also writing and illustrating a series of children’s books. Finding time to Draw, paint, and teach has been a challenge while raising a family but finishing a project is very rewarding to me. And I hope you like my artwork and lessons and enjoy watching my progress with various projects!
