By Joseph Sheppard. New printing!
Packed with demonstrations of 16th and 17th century oil painting techniques. Each chapter is devoted to a different old master--Dürer, Titian, Veronese, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Hals, Rubens, Rembrandt--and is divided into two parts. The first section describes the artist's background, his basic style and techniques, and ways the reader can duplicate these techniques but keep their personal style. The second part is a full-color demonstration showing numerous steps in a painting's progress. Sheppard traces the artist's basic procedures--his working sequence, colors and mediums, painting surfaces and tools.
