In his no-nonsense way, Robert Hagan demystifies the oil painting process. Artists, no matter what their level of experience, will be able to create enchanting paintings almost immediately by using Hagan's unique "placement theory" and simple color system based on two "mother colors."

You will find 400 full-color photos which show the paintings coming together as well as the artist at work. The book also includes 8 start-to-finish painting demos, in-depth direction on how to pull together elements from various reference photos, a color palette, reference photos, sample sketches and helpful instructions which make every project inside simple to replicate.
