Expressive Painting With Anne-marie Esson The Easy 5-step System for Beginners

Anne-Marie Esson--painter, instructor, and host of the Public Television series "Painting with Anne-Marie"--takes the intimidation out of a blank canvas! She has developed an amazingly effective step-by-step painting method that can teach any interested student how to create stylish works of art. The process begins with sketches of the subject, followed by a color wash. Then, layer shadows to add depth; bring the image to life with highlights; and finish up with painted accents. Each skill is extensively explained, and seven complete paintings (two floral still lifes and a seaside landscape, beach scene, boat, harbor, and lighthouse) are shown with the key stages stepped out to clarify the techniques. In addition, there's advice on setting up a proper workstation and creative exercises for inspiration.Esson, Anne-Marie is the author of 'Expressive Painting With Anne-marie Esson The Easy 5-step System for Beginners', published 2007 under ISBN 9781600590955 and ISBN 1600590950.
