BOOK

This is the cover to the new book on oil painting. It covers every foundational topic including materials necessary to get started both in the studio and for painting on location. It has a very detailed breakdown of my four pronged method of teaching the Language of Painting; Shape, Value, Edges, and Texture. I talk at length about your “vision” or poetic interpretation, elements of good composition, design principles, loosening up, limited palettes, presentation, pricing your work and even stretching your own canvas. If you are thinking about learning to paint for a living or just a pleasant pastime, this is the book for you. Below are several examples of the pages, and I’m sure that you’ll find the book worth every penny!
