BOOKS FEATURING
DEMONSTRATIONS

This book is about the lushness of using pure color side by side in much the same way as the Impressionists did to create light-filled and luminous artwork. The authors have put together an expert instructional book that covers art concepts and techniques that they feel are essential for painting light! The demos are projects--you are invited to paint along.
