Form: Creative Painting

Form: Creative Painting focuses on several different approaches to creating imaginative, finished, highly professional paintings. A painting's form is the element that lends it visual coherence. Form is derived from combinations of shapes as simple as triangles, circles, and squares, or as complex as intersecting lines and overlapping irregular shapes.

This book analyzes examples of still life, portraits, landscapes, water scenes, skies, and even abstract paintings, demonstrating in clear illustrations, the fundamental shapes from which each painting is constructed. Van Gogh, Munch, Kandinsky and other masters are featured.

There are vivid and instructive color illustrations on every page. Form: Creative Painting is for use by advanced students and experienced amateurs.
