Noel Gregory studied at High Wycombe College of Art and Bournemouth Teacher Training College. He owned an art gallery near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire for twenty five years, dealing with Victorian pictures and later his own work. He now makes a living as an artist, specialising in oil painting, and sells his work internationally. Noel lives in Dyfed, south west Wales and when not painting enjoys diving and collecting marine shells from around the world.
July 2006 Immerse yourself in this delightful book and you are soon
breathing in the atmosphere of these superb paintings. Take one
look at these paintings and you will be inspired to either start
learning how to paint with oils or to brush up your skills to
advanced levels. The book takes you through step-by-step sequences
to build up your confidence and your skills. Several useful
sub-topics are covered such as using a limited palette, painting a
landscape, painting skies, painting trees, working from
photographs, adding foreground detail and painting flowers. If you
are very nervous about attempting your first oil painting this is
essential reading, as it covers everything. What I love about this
book is each painting has notes to say exactly how it was
accomplished. This book is sure to be a winner with any artist!
