About this deal

Made from the majestic trees of the same name, eucalyptus oil has a powerful smell that has been harnessed by indigenous Australians for centuries.

Two of our favourites are Miaroma Patchouli Pure Essential Oil and Tisserand Organic Patchouli Essential Oil. The two elements of ‘Colour and Light in Oils’ that interested me most were the discussions about colour composition and utilising under-paintings. Verrall and Capon explained, among many other things, that a great way to make a powerful painting is to focus on just a selected few relationships within your subject. They wrote that you can home in on those important elements by carefully curating your colours to create moods and draw attention to specific areas. Throughout the book Varrell provided many examples of this in his paintings, showing and describing how he generated atmospheres and narratives by being considerate with his palette and colour-based decisions. He also discussed colour theory in depth, analysing his use of contrasting and complimentary colours within his work. This was supported with photographs of his underpaintings and painting progress shots to show the evolution of his decision making. Sandalwood Oil:With its distinctive earthy, yet sweet smell, there’s no mistaking the classic scent of sandalwood oil, which is often used in perfumes and air fresheners. I found this section of the book fascinating and wanted to test the versatility and usefulness of Verrall’s comments. I went out and photographed a street during the Golden Hour (a period of time in the day shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky) as I was interested in both the type of light and the process of rendering architecture, both subjects that ‘Colour and Light in Oils’ focus heavily on. I then decided which elements of my subject I was most interested in; I was fascinated by the type of light, how it shone on the building and the planes of the left house.

Pure patchouli oil:While tea tree and eucalyptus have fresh smells, patchouli oil is a completely different oil. Traditionally, tea tree oil has been used by Aboriginal people as a natural antiseptic, as well as for insect bites and stings. Publisher’s blurb: “Smell is a social phenomenon, invested with particular meanings and values by different cultures. Odors can enforce social structures or transgress them, unite people or divide them, empower or disempower. This book breaks the “olfactory silence” of modernity by offering the first comprehensive exploration of the cultural role of odors in Western history – from antiquity to the present – and in a wide variety of non-Western societies. Its topics range from the medieval concept of the “odor of sanctity”, to the aromatherapies of South America, and from olfactory stereotypes of gender and ethnicity in the modern West to the role of smell in post-modernity.” Tea tree oil:Sourced from the Australian tea tree, Melaleuca Alternifolia, this oil is one of the most well-known thanks to its distinctive smell and many uses.

Patchouli essential oil blends well with other essential oils, including ylang-ylang, sweet orange and jasmine. So it is always worth consulting a healthcare professional for advice before using essential oils if you are unsure. The essential oil is made from the dried leaves of the patchouli plant, a member of the mint family, native to many Asian countries.There are various brands on the market including Dr Organic Tea Tree Pure Oil, Miaroma Tea Tree Pure Essential Oil and Tisserand Organic Tea Tree Oil.
