Before I became a painter, I was a fashion illustrator, a designer, an art director. I ran a commercial art business. I dealt with photographers, printers, artists and clients. Because I had little interest in learning to paint while I was in college, I had to figure out how to begin at the beginning. I took classes. I painted every day. I made mistakes. I visited museums. I incorporated all I had learned from drawing and designing layouts. The result? I developed a method that worked for me. The book will list supplies to get started. It will help you overcome your fear of making a mistake by teaching you the ways that I begin a painting. I take photos, I sketch, I use pastels and the computer. I play with the color. By the time I start my painting, I feel comfortable with the subject. I am ready to have fun. This book is for sale at many of the bookstores. Call first, give them the isbn number (1-58180-608-6) and they will be happy to order it. Or just go to Amazon. Have fun doing the things that make you happy. That will help both you and the people that are in your life. |
