5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Classical Method Instruction Video, June 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Landscape Painting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you are interested in learning the classical technique of oil painting then this is the tape for you.

I have looked at many instructional tapes and I find this one of the very best. It gets you going with an underpainting, followed by glazes, and then finally the opaque overpainting. Drying between the painting layers is required but then a good oil painting is not completed in a day.

Be warned this tape and technique are for the serious painter only!

This is probably the best painting technique offered by Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid foundation in the Old Master techniques, June 14, 2000

This review is from: Basic Landscape Painting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Johnnie Liliedahl gives a painter a solid and time tested approach to painting oils in the classical tradition. This is a solid work which gets the painter into laying background "turpsy" color washes, following with glazing and finally the opaque over-painting.

This is not one of these "quicky" paint in 1 hour or 30 minute videos made popular by TV-Artists but rather a solid process which takes place over several days.

There is a thorough explanation of the correct use of the palette and the actual brush techniques and the brushes to use at each stage of the process.

I thoroughly recommend this video to any serious student of the medium.
