Synopsis

Built around 50 rule-breaking exercises, this book encourages you to question familiar “golden rules” of painting and replace hesitation with experimentation. Each prompt is designed to unlock creativity through practical techniques, handy tips and an inspiring finished painting, with ideas you can dip into or follow in sequence.

Although the projects are worked in oils, the underlying principles are intended to translate across different artistic mediums. Suitable for artists of all abilities, it is also positioned as a giftable title for anyone looking to refresh their painting practice and approach the blank canvas with greater confidence.
