Watercolor Painting Outside the Lines
Read more » by Linda Kemp Ironic. As children, we spend endless hours and boxes of crayons learning to keep the color inside the lines. Then we grow up and devote the remainder of our art lives trying to find our way back to that free, unbounded mindset. Watercolor Painting Outside the Lines will help you make that groundbreaking shift via Linda Kemp’s “positive approach to negative painting.” Landscape Painting Inside & Out (Now in Paperback!)
Read more » Capture the Vitality of Outdoor Painting in Your Studio! by Kevin Macpherson It's one thing to capture the spirit of nature on location, where you're immersed in the sensations and the atmosphere, and responding to what's directly in front of you. It's quite another thing to take it to a larger, more finished canvas back in the studio. The great painters of the past created thoughtful art in their studios with no loss of vitality and spontaneity. And in Landscape Painting Inside & Out, Kevin will be your guide to reliving the outdoor experience inside, enlarging your ideas and refining your compositions so that you work will be enhanced and fresh and full of life and emotion. Cincinnati, Ohio artist, Merle Rosen, has always been one of my favorite local painters. Her use of bold color and contrasts results in expressive, vibrant paintings full of energy. She teaches in a way that is both spontaneous and grounded, inspiring students (like myself) to be creative, while keeping them on track with values, proportions and the elements needed for a strong foundation. Merle’s artistsnetwork.tv DVDs on using acrylic collage are just as good as being in her classes. I hope you’ll enjoy these workshops!
