An Afternoon with Ron McKee

This video will show you lay in technique, mixing of colors and some palette knife. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I had painting it!


Ron McKee and Granddaughter

Watch how Ron begins to inspire his four month old granddaughter Harper with a large oil painting of Hillside Poppies. Harper watches and becomes more and more intrigued with the colors, the brushes and her grandfather.


20 Minute Oil Demo

Laying in a new oil I simply use a long brush on a dry linen canvas. Quickly putting down reference points and with light washes of color enables me to quickly get the lay in of the painting. From there you'll see in the video I then start with thicker paint and define the darks however not with the blacks! Use the dark purples and dark greens instead. This gives you a much richer depth.
