Painting In Layers

In PAINTING IN LAYERS, Barbara Schucker Marquardt tells you in an understandable way and with clear illustrations how you can learn her method of painting by doing a drawing. You paint like you draw. If the drawing is successful, chances are that the painting will be successful. Interesting strokes fill in the spaces of the drawing, building up the values from light to dark. Erasures are not necessary because mistakes disappear as more layers are added. The values in the pencil drawing correspond to the dark and light colors used in the painting. Mistakes disappear as the painting progresses. The book incorporates the principles of realism as well as those principles that apply to all good painting. To order, please call (800) 762-3342.
