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!

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.

This was a dissapointing purchase. I am an intermediate and I really thought this could help me out a little by advancing some of my skills, but it didn't. The only thing I learned was how to really glaze, because that's all she does is glaze. She paints 3 trees, a sky and whatever else by glazing everything. It's not that bad, but it's not good either. I've bought many other tapes/dvds and this is by far my least favorite.
