okey doke.
this is a 30 page full color zine full of pictures and explanations on how i oil paint. (oh and plus i work through a painting with explanations in the zine)
i've heard sooo many people say that they want to oil paint but they can't afford it, or that it seems too hard - and i always want to holler, "it's sooooo much easier and cheaper!"
plus, the whole clean up excuse? i'll shoot holes in that too (:
thus, this is a zine on oil painting for beginners and cheapskates.
but wait. listen. i am not a professional zine maker or anything. i make zines the same way i did when i was a kid - duct tape and photographs.
so basically, i made this by hand and then photocopied it. that also means that i was only able to print on one side of the paper. boo.
me and photoshop aren't friends.
also, it's all handwritten and printed on my own printer.
but i think i did a pretty nice job and i think you'll be really pleased with it.
anyway. no complaining because it's good solid information and i don't hold anything back because i hate when people hold back. what is that about anyway?
okay, so also i work through a little portrait with you in the zine (the portrait shown on the cover) and i explain what colors i use.
this is particularly important for all of you guys who ask me what colors i use for my portraits because the palette that i use for this portrait is the exact same that i use for all of my oil portraits (lately)
keep in mind that this is a whimsy portrait - this is not an advanced realism portrait, so anyone will be able to do this if you keep an open mind and give it a fair shot.
**i have seven of these left**
they are in my etsy shop and are $21 each.
they were really time consuming and expensive to make so once these last ones are gone
they are gone. gone. gone.
They can be purchased here.
