About the author: Mr. Dilworth has been figuring out what goes on in the mind of a painter for over 50 years. His education as a physics major at MIT gave him the mental tools, but not the answers he wanted. When his paintings started looking as though he had found some of those answers, he decided to write this book. He hopes that others with the same interest and talent will be able to start right off knowing the tricks, the tips, and with the good advice that took him decades to accumulate.
