Fat over lean is a fundamental principle in oil painting that refers to the layering of paint. In today’s video, I’ll dive into some of these common questions using "Elisabeth of Austria" by Franz Xaver Winterhalter as our reference. I’ll break it down into three parts:
1. How light interacts with oil paintings
2. The structure of oil paints
3. Basic color theory in oil painting glazing
I spent a lot of time creating this video, so whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I hope you find it helpful.
