<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This detailed, user-friendly oil painting workbook is a companion to Patrick's <em>Sci-fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques</em>, and features previously unpublished artworks. Patrick leads us into his studio once again to study further the art of layers, blending, and glazing with oils. With his ever-evolving use of technique, Patrick explores methods for painting various textures -- from fabric and fur to gold and flesh -- and demonstrates various 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 art student should be without this volume on their bookshelves.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If you're keen to take your knowledge of oils to the next level, then Patrick's book is well worth your time." --<i>Yahya El-Droubie Magazine</i><br><br>"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." --<i>Imagine FX </i><br><br>"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<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Patrick J. Jones</b> is an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy artist and teacher.
