This detailed, user-friendly oil painting workbook is a companion to Patrick's Sci-fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques, and features previously unpublished artworks. Patrick leads us into his studio once again to explore further the art of layers, blending, and glazing with oil paints, while explaining step-by-step how these techniques can also be applied in digital art. With his ever-evolving use of technique, Patrick explores methods for painting various textures — from fabric and fur to gold and flesh — and demonstrates ways to work solvent free.
The sheer scale and breadth of Patrick's experience, and the wealth of invaluable information he shares, means that no artist, art lover, or student should be without this volume on their bookshelves.
Praise for Sci-Fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques:
'...Patrick is a great writer, with an anecdote for just about every image in the book, and he's often as hilarious as he is insightful… If you want to make the jump from digital to oils it's an utter must-have…' — Imagine FX
'...this is an amazing collection of work in the tradition, and quite as powerful as the best of Boris Vallejo, Frank Frazetta, and I would add Howard Pyle. I can't say enough here – Patrick's work reminds me at times of Jose Segrelles, one of the very finest fantasy illustrators ever. Don't miss this!!' — Bud Plant
