Publisher's Synopsis
A step-by-step approach to impasto painting which is a thick oil paint used to build up a surface as textured as a stucco wall. Addressed to both beginners and advanced painters alike, the author offers advice on paint supports and a variety of methods of attaining diverse effects in the painting of landscapes, still-lifes and portraits.;David Millard is also the author of two previous publications on the subject - "Joy", and "More Joy of Watercolour". This watercolourist has now turned to this new oil technique which was practised by artists such as Monet and Van Gogh.
