A Step-by-Step Oil Painting Demonstration with Paul Kratter

After Paul Kratter returned from his annual “Granite Group” painting trip to the Eastern Sierras, he sent us this step-by-step demonstration. Kratter started the Granite Group with his good friend, Bill Cone. “We head out to the Eastern Sierras, usually staying five nights. Most of us hike into the mountains, although a few ride in. For seventeen years we have brought only artists along with us and a hired cook. We paint from sunup to sundown! We’ve had over forty artists join us.”
