This is episode 61 of Art Talk. In this episode, I briefly discuss why colour theory is key, and the knowledge of how to use oil paint is one of the first things a painter needs to know.
“It is a form of self-deception, or perhaps merely a convenient excuse, to say that the materials of the old masters were better than those of today, and that the splendid preservation of many of their pictures is to be attributed to this factor. But most of all must their success be attributed to the building up of their pictures in accordance with the laws of the materials.” Quote from an old book by Max Doerner.
