Conclusion

We hope that you’ve enjoyed learning a variety of oil painting techniques from these four artists, and that this book will be a handy reference tool for you as you advance as a painter. Keep experimenting with tools, techniques, and color. Find what works for you, what inspires you, and what you really enjoy painting. A big part of being an artist is observing the world through an artist’s eye, always looking for engaging scenes, interesting light, and unique subjects to paint. Begin your artist’s morgue or start a sketchbook—and carry your camera with you to photograph whatever catches your eye. Most important, have fun!
