    Three cheers for indirect painting!! I love that approach, too, and use it quite often. Nothing beats setting up a grisaille and glazing for realism. When I’m seeking a very realistic outcome, this is the method I use.
    Wet-on-wet is quick, fun and ANYBODY can do it! So, I do both styles depending on what I’m after.

    Thanks for posting these videos. I’m all for anything that helps put art into the hands of everyone.

    I’m taking an oil painting class at my local art center myself. We’re doing indirect painting in layers, but this wet-on-wet style seems pretty intriguing, too.

    I’d say that portraits are definitely more difficult than landscapes, especially for beginners/novices. To get started, in general, would run about $100-$150, just for the basic materials. I don’t use linseed oil per se, but my mediums come in jars, so I don’t put them out on my palette as a general rule. And yes, painting CAN be messy, if you’re not careful. If it’s a concern, put a tarp beneath you. ( and don’t paint in the carpeted living room!! )
