Harley Brown: Eternal Truths For Every Artist Softcover Book

A well-established artist, Brown has gained a large following with his frank, no-nonsense approach to teaching art. Twelve knock-out chapters include:

• What every artist should do first.
• Harley's own cheap and dirty way to start a painting Composition--who needs it?
• See why most paintings are boring. And why a few will knock your socks off.
• Working with color. Stay miles ahead of the person who skips this chapter!
• Going on from here. Your greatest obstacle isn't skill...it's attitude.
• Plus, 30 magic solutions to common problems, 15 things to leave out of a painting, 24 painting sins and much more!

I no longer do workshops, so this book is actually like having many workshops with me. Filled with a wide range of art techniques, insights and "secrets" that I learned over the years. Most important are the bountiful images of my artwork. Some showing stages of my approach from start to finish.

When I was starting my career and could have one book to help me on my way, this would be it. Yes it's by me, and it's also by the great artists in history, mentors with whom I studied and the endless inspiring moments I locked into my mind. All now revealed. Cheers and. High five to you all- Harley
