Painting Process: Demystifying Oil Painting

Gregory Manchess, award-winning painter and freelance illustrator has been creating advertising campaigns, magazines, and book covers for over forty years. His latest projects include his first ‘widescreen novel’ Above the Timberline, released in 2017 to stellar reviews. Thirty of the 120+ paintings from the book were featured as an exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. The Coen Brothers chose Gregory’s work to illustrate the book showcased in their latest film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Today, Gregory lectures frequently at universities and colleges nationwide and gives workshops in painting at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA, and teaches at the Illustration Master Class in Amherst, MA.

Greg is painting several small oil studies that will reveal how the paint is applied, and how simple the process is for doing your own! They are time lapsed, and can be sped up or slowed down to unwrap the steps.
