How the secrets of an Irish master can improve your own painting for pleasure
Amaze your family, your friends, and even yourself with your new-found skill!
I’m going to tell you a story about an artist. A famous artist, although you may not know his name. He is exhibited in some of the world’s greatest galleries and museums all over the world. When the story is finished, you will understand why I wanted to tell you about him.
Imagine if Van Gogh had left an instruction manual, or Gauguin, or Claude Monet, detailing their exact methods. How valuable would that book be to you?
Ronald Ossary Dunlop was an Irish master painter. He painted in both watercolors and oils, and his pictures hang in London’s famous Tate Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery. He founded his own school of art, the “Emotionists”, and pioneered a special way of painting with oils using a palette knife. Dunlop’s art is valued very highly to this day.
Ronald Dunlop’s other passion was teaching painting for beginners. He believed that any artist could improve using his particular methods and techniques, and wanted to leave behind some instructions to help artists just like you.
Introducing “Painting for Pleasure” by Ronald Ossary Dunlop
In “Painting for Pleasure”, Ronald Dunlop set down his exact methods and painting techniques. In 95 pages, and 32 illustrations, he will take you through his methods, thinking and philosophy as if he was standing right by your side as you paint.
How to Paint in Watercolors
Here is what “Painting for Pleasure” will teach you about painting in watercolor:
- Which colors to begin with – Dunlop suggests cobalt blue, burnt sienna, viridian green and 12 others as your basic kit – start with the wrong colors and you will be frustrated from the beginning
- Which brushes to use for best results in watercolor and how to keep them in best condition for your art
- Which kind of watercolor paper gives the best results
- How to paint the perfect watercolor “wash”, and how to overlay one wash over the other for beautiful watercolor tints and paintings
- How to use water and your loaded brush to “guide” the watercolor into the exact position – remember you cannot go over watercolor twice, you have to get this right first time - “Painting for Pleasure” will show you how
How to Paint in Oils
Painting in oils was a particular passion of Ronald Dunlop, and he explains it perfectly for the beginning, intermediate or advanced artist. Oils give the most brilliant results of any paint, and once you know the methods detailed in “Painting for Pleasure” you will be able to accurately represent any scene or study you like.
“Painting for Pleasure” will help you to understand:
- How to prepare your canvas, tools and easel – the canvas you use has a lot to say about how your eventual work will look
- Which 15 oil paints and colors give the best results, and which 6 colors you must avoid
- How to thin your paints and how to fix and varnish your finished work so it will keep
- Dunlop’s special palette-knife technique – a novel method which gives particularly dazzling results – your artist friends will be demanding you explain how you achieve this remarkable look
- The “feel” of oil painting – Dunlop says you should be bold and daring to paint in oils – make a mistake in oil and you can start over. “Painting for Pleasure” will show you how not to be “timid” with your painting.
- How to paint and keep the colors on your canvas clean and bright – you don’t want “muddy” results
- The exact brush technique Dunlop used for his own painting, and how it can improve you own work
