About Jerry Wylie, artist

I may be the only painter alive that knows what the true source of amber varnish is, which I learned from the backward writings of leonardo Da Vinci, using a mirrow, to reverse the print. But I do not use it, though it is a very good material, for that is not the secret of great painting. Learning to see is the secret of painting if there is one. And it takes years of practice to develop.

If you are a painter struggling with materials and technique, I can answer your questions about oil painting. Send an email, I will respond when I can. There are many books on this subject, hundreds, none are as good as they could be. I do not have time to write this much needed anthology. Once in a blue moon, I stray from surrealism and I like to do traditional paintings to give my brain a rest.

I highly recommend you execute your trivial task on rainy days; groceries, post office, hair appointments, etc. If you saw the movie Dr.Zhivago, you know what I mean. However; staying in on days with heavy snow, as in the movie, is also to be recommended if at all possible. These statements are directed to painters of pictures, but are good for others as well. If anyone has any news as to what happened to Julie Christie, please email me ASAP. - Jerry
