This is one in a series of short clips from the painting instruction DVD Fundamentals of Painting by Seamus Berkeley.

In this comprehensive instructional video, Seamus Berkeley shares with you his in depth knowledge of oil painting--from tools and materials through a complete painting demonstration.

"Factual problem solving approach. The fact that I had never mixed oil paints before didn't trouble Seamus, he just taught me how to do it." --Robert, portrait workshop attendee

"Seamus has incredible ability to teach. He explains it, demonstrates it and, if need be, will help you with a difficult part of your paintings." --Mary, workshop attendee at the Taos Institute of Arts

Seamus has instructed and lectured at numerous venues including Eagle Rock School, Estes Park, CO; University of New Mexico, Taos, NM; Waring School, Beverly, MA; and his own studios in Taos, NM and Berkeley, CA.

Students and educators will find the clear organization and easy access to specific information particularly useful. Topics covered include:

Great!

Now I understand the reason why charcol drawing w/ white statues is still basic for oil painting.

and that grayscale tool looks so wise.

Looks very interesting. I haven't thought of the grey scale/relativity of dark to light over colour before. Making the correct colour is always the biggest problem I have, and I'm a Bob Ross Instructor! (not active though)
