Oil Painting Tutorial
The President's Putt - Part 1
This oil painting tutorial is the first of a three part series which looks at how a commissioned painting is developed from start to completion.
Oils painting is a very forgiving medium and with the development of low odour and quick dry mixing mediums is much more user-friendly to use than it used to be.
This tutorial covers the basic compositional ideas and the initial underpainting, with a tonal sketch created on the canvas.
Just press the big blue button on the screen above, wait a few seconds for the "President's Putt - Part 1" video to load, then watch at your leisure.
Oh, and don't forget, you can pause the video anywhere you want and replay it as often as you like, with the little black triangular button, bottom left of the screen.
