Ian Robert McKown DVD - Painting A Rose From Reference In Oils

Painting A Rose From Reference in Oils
by Ian Robert McKown

There are as many approaches to realistic painting as there are specific styles within the genre. In this DVD however, Ian shows his own specific approach to realistic painting in oils from reference. Ian firmly believes that there are fundamentals of art that are often overlooked by artists that can make their work not only stronger, more dynamic and believable, but also provide the much needed "practice" all artists need to continue to grow as artists. This DVD covers Ian's approach from start to finish including:

• Materials and Setup
• Palette and colour choices
• Surface preparation
• Establishing a value based underpainting
• Edge control
• Paint quality
• Light and shadow
• Making informed artistic decisions
• Much much more!
