The New Oil Painting: Your Essential Guide to Materials & Safe Practices, is a culmination of years researching the best and safest materials for oil painting by artist Kimberly Brooks. Oil painting practices need not be complicated and are often misunderstood and produce unnecessary exposure to toxic chemicals. Simple explanations and lists of mediums, canvas types, paint brands and brushes are accompanied by simple illustrations created by the artist. The first edition was published by Griffith Moon. An updated expanded version with photographic images will be available May 18 from wherever books are sold.
Kimberly Brooks is an exhibiting artist and award winning teacher who on occasion conducts workshops around the country including at the Otis School of Art and Design and the Anderson Ranch Arts Center.
