Book excerpt: Can a typical garden provide inspiration for oil painting?This pocket sized book (now available in large edition) shows how a haven may yield more than one may first expect. Every garden is unique in character and has something to offer: lawns, greenhouses, pots, hedges, pets, flowers and more.Taken from my art instruction book, Oil paintings from your Garden published by GMC Publications 2002 (and which some images appear in my other Oil Painting Medic books), 18 oil painting demonstrations featuring such aforementioned subject matter can be found within.This pocket-sized workbook is divided into clear sections according to theme: shadows, nonorganic, harvest and flora. A section near the back of this book offers advice on oil painting materials and how to prepare the art surface for painting. All demonstrations have been completed with 10 oil colours, 6 brush types, artboards and a few additional materials which could be found in the home. This section can be previewed within my other art book, Landscape Painting in Oils - 20 Step by Step Guides, as it is located at the front.Each demonstration is keyed according to levels of difficulty.
