› Find signed collectible books: 'Intuitive Composition'Book summary:Based on the idea that intuition is the overriding principle behind good design in painting, this volume covers all elements of composition and considers them both from a personal and a technical/practical point of view. Beginning with a section on perception, the authors emphasize how the artist can learn to be open to the painting experience, both consciously and unconsciously. They then discuss composition in terms of the elements of shape, pattern, planes, positive/negative space, and dynamics of movement. The next section explores the influences on composition of value and mass, light and shade, texture, proportion, and perspective. Finally, the authors specify creative approaches which the artist can experiment with to increase compositional skill and painting facility. Aimed at beginning and intermediate artists, this book is an invaluable introduction to the often overlooked role of intuition in the achievement of good design. [via]

Softcover, F & W Publications, Incorporated
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Painting Murals'Book summary:This book is a comprehensive guide to painting murals both inside and outside the home, whether it be a child's room, entryway, kitchen, or garden. Patricia Seligman begins with a brief history of this artform, with photographs of unique mural paintings throughout the world. She follows with demonstrations on how to prepare a wall surface for painting and how to select the materials for the job.
Artists will learn how to choose an appropriate subject for their mural, select colors that will create the desired effect, and transfer their design to the final surface. They'll learn as eight different murals are created step-by-step-including those in a child's room, bathroom, study, hallway, and on a ceiling.
Through these projects, artists will discover how murals can be used to create visual tricks with the eye, provide a focal point to a room, create illusion of more space, render textures and more.
Patricia Seligman has a degree in history and art from London University. She spent four years introducing young people to art through tours of the galleries and museums of London. As a freelance editor, she has also worked for a number of prominent art and drawing magazines in the United Kingdom. She lives in London, England [via]
