This detailed, user-friendly oil painting workbook is a companion to Patrick’s Sci-fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques, and features previously unpublished artworks. Patrick leads us into his studio once again to study further the art of layers, blending, and glazing with oils. With his ever-evolving use of technique, Patrick explores methods for painting various textures – from fabric and fur to gold and flesh – and demonstrates various ways to work solvent free.
The sheer scale and breadth of Patrick’s experience, and the wealth of invaluable information he shares, means that no artist, art lover, or art student should be without this volume on their bookshelves.

Patrick J. Jones is an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy artist and teacher. His work is collected and published worldwide, and his client list includes companies such as Disney, Lucasfilm and Roc books. Patrick grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the worst of the “troubles”. Influenced by artists Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta, he spent long days in the sanctuary of rooftops, drawing and dreaming of becoming a fantasy artist, to the din of street riots below. After two years in the merchant navy he moved to London and spent 15 years as an illustrator before travelling the world once more. Today, Patrick lives and works in Australia. When he's not painting he teaches art at universities in the city of Brisbane, where he now lives with his wife Cathy and their two scruffy dogs.
