Projects may be tackled in any order but for guidance, are divided into four levels, beginning with level 1 progressing to level 4.

Each project within the demonstration section of this book is clearly set out. You will find:
An image of the finished painting presenting a challenge.
Between 6 and 10 step by step images of how the painting was completed.
A list of the oil painting materials used for the project.
Corresponding instructions to each image-in-progress on how the painting was done.
Tips along the way.

The preliminary section covers the art materials required for the projects within, as well as guidance on preparing the art materials for the demonstrations. Troubleshooting advice is given at the end of this book if a painting does not work out as planned.
