About this lesson
Gurney explains the specific transparent oil-wash method he developed for his Dinotopia books: sealing a pencil drawing with fixative and acrylic matte medium, then applying oil paint thinned with mineral spirits or alkyd medium so he can scratch back through to the drawing beneath.
