Do You Know the 3 Rules of Oil Painting?

If you do oil painting, you might already know the 3 rules. You might be doing them already without knowing it.  They aren't meant to be scary or shame you.  They are there so you can make oil paintings that don't crack or warp as you build up the paint on your canvas or board.  They are:

1. Fat over lean
2. Thick over thin
3. Slow drying over fast drying

Over at the Winsor and Newton website, they explain why these 3 rules are so important, why knowing them will help you make the painting you intended to paint, and how they will impact the way your painting looks at the end.  We know that painting with Bob Ross on his TV series, he did these all the time, but didn't really call attention to them.  Now, you'll understand the ins and outs after reading the article.  Click on the link above to read it.
