In this film, Melanie sets out to show us that oil painting does not have to be a difficult or messy medium. She looks at which materials to use, colour mixing, tones, composition, perspective and much more. The basic elements of landscape painting - skies, trees, water, foregrounds, buildings and figures - are all covered as she paints a variety of subjects both in her studio and on location on the River Wey near Wisley. This film is ideal for people new to oil painting.
