Walter Foster - Paint Alchemy

Paint Alchemy

Develop a mindful painting practice that values process as much as finished work

Part of the new Alchemy series, Paint Alchemy explores how to build a painting practice. Whether you re a novice or an experienced painter, you ll learn how to create freely by combining a foundation in solid techniques and design principles with an open approach that stays focused on the moment, rather than the end result. You will learn how to prepare your art space, work with intention, and move between action and observation, responding to the work along the way. Paint Alchemy will help you cultivate a full perspective on the process: from developing ideas in a sketchbook to crystalizing your vision. As you work through the exercises, you ll gain a better understanding of color theory, mark making, representational form, abstraction, and composition. Mindfulness, experimentation, and reflection will give way to wonder as your paintings develop. Author: Eva Magill Oliver
