Kimberly Brooks on How to Oil Paint Without Using Solvent – Part 1
Show Notes
In today’s interview, you’ll get to hear from American Painter and Author Kimberly Brooks.
If you've ever wondered whether oil painting is possible without using solvents like turpentine or even the still unhealthy "Odorless" mineral spirits (OMS) without resorting to water-miscible oil paints, the answer is a resounding YES.
Kimberly takes a deep and scientific dive into the science of oil painting in her new and very important book, "The New Oil Painting."
I'm convinced THIS book should be required reading in art schools.
Kimberly is not only an engaging author, she's a successful international artist in her worn right. Check out the interview and learn more about Kimberly's book in the podcast or video, and art through the links on this page.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think.
Until next time,
