Modern Art Schools Stopped Teaching This — And Your Paintings Suffer for It

 

Most painters think the answer is more blending and more softness with the brush. But overblending flattens your surfaces, kills atmosphere, and leaves your painting looking lifeless.

Here’s the truth: the Old Masters weren’t blending endlessly — they were layering. They knew the right tools and techniques to create softness, transparency, and drama without petting the cat (repeatedly painting over the same area in the same soft way). 

If you don’t learn these methods, your paintings will always feel more shallow than they should. If you do, you’ll unlock the timeless depth that makes a Rembrandt portrait glow and the subtleties that allow Carrieres to breathe.

 

The Solution: Advanced Oil Painting Techniques

 

This isn’t just theory or speculation. It’s practical techniques that create surface effects painters once considered essential:

  • Sand for Atmosphere → soften edges and unify the surface.
  • Glaze the Right Way → create glowing, transparent depth.
  • Impasto for Drama → bold and thick paint that commands attention.
  • Broken Color → optical harmony the Old Masters lived by.
