Opis

You have never seen an art instruction book like this For beginner to advanced, Real Art Real Easy addresses the mysterious, little understood half of what goes into painting a picture. Most art instruction is about the 'how', this is more about the 'what'. Making the step from the profusion of nature to a two dimensional design that does what you intend is a complex process. Real Art Real Easy breaks that process down into easy stages you can master. Open the book at random or start with the first of sixty-five exercises. With novel insights and powerful exercises Bissett gives you the opportunity to stretch those aesthetic muscles, some you didn't even know you had, and he makes it fun...
