Ernst Fuchs and Brigid Marlin
On my last visit to Ernst Fuchs he gave me the latest book of his art and wrote in it:
To Brigid Marlin, my first Apostle of all the knowledge that she has passed on to all Visionary Artists around the World.
To the memory of my great teacher Ernst Fuchs and to my magical sister Lis, who saved my life and saved my book

Contents
This beautifully illustrated book is an insightful guide to how the Old Masters of the Netherlands Renaissance captured such luminosity in their portraits, still-lives and landscapes. These painters were experts in a technique that was lost for centuries, and would have remained so had it not been for its revival by Austrian painter Ernst Fuchs and the many artists he taught and inspired. Brigid Marlin studied and later taught with him and through this book she will show you just how you can capture the magic of these Old Masters.
You can see in even a casual museum visit how the light shines out from within these Renaissance paintings and how much less the ravages of time have damaged their smooth surfaces than is the case for those painted in later times. In this practical guide, Brigid reveals the intricate details entailed in this painting technique, and provides exercises for you to try it out. If you are an artist keen to develop your skills, you will find a treasure trove of examples, tips and detailed instruction on how to master these techniques and apply them to your own vision. If you simply love art and want to better understand the Netherlands Renaissance, this book will enhance your knowledge and appreciation.
I have spent many a vacation gazing in awe at Brigid at work. Its magical, watching her first transform that red gesso board into a perfect white drawing, then apply glazes of yellow and blue, and at last bring all the different colours into the final painting. Our family is blessed to have been gifted several of her works and to have been able to purchase others. Thats a prime benefit of my fifty years of marriage to Brigids wonderful brother John, the renaissance man of my dreams. Loops of Her Hair was Brigids wedding gift to us. Our home glows with Brigids opalescent light and her fantastical visions.

Loops of Her Hair by Brigid Marlin
Flight of the Churches by Brigid Marlin
In his book Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters, David Hockney relates how, after visiting The Genius of Rome exhibition in London in January 2001, he was approached by a student of the Royal Academy who said he had no idea how the paintings had been achieved. Hockney went on to say, Here was an indictment of art history that seems to have no concern for teachable techniques. If science did not pass on its knowledge to the young, we would soon be in the Dark Ages. Isnt this irresponsible?
Throughout my career as a professional artist, I have studied techniques in painting. What I try to express through my painting is, of course, deeply personal. The techniques I have learned simply help me to express myself more effectively. Many of these techniques are no longer taught in art schools and, as Hockney says, are in danger of being forgotten. In this book I will share with you my experience of learning, using and teaching techniques in painting. I hope that you will find something here to help you in your own journey as a painter and that you in turn will pass your discoveries on to others.
This book is for artists who would like to learn the techniques of the Old Masters of the Netherlands Renaissance. It is a practical manual taking you step by step through the processes these artists used. I have spent most of my life using these techniques and teaching them to the hundreds of fellow artists who have painted alongside me in classes or in my studio. I found that the best way of teaching was to paint in parallel with my students, so that at each step the students could try something, watch me do it, and try again, repeating the process until the lessons stuck.
