Space: Creative Painting

Space: Creative Painting concentrates on approaches to creating the illusion of using shape on flat surfaces. It includes a review of the rules of perspective as employed in traditional landscapes and cityscapes, and also focuses on the absence of depth, as seen in the abstract work of Mondrian and other contemporaries.

Detailed instruction is offered on the use of light and shadow to enhance the illusion of dimension. This book explores unusual points of view, dramatic body poses, and extraordinary landscapes. Works of famous artists are included as reference.

Vivid and instructive color illustrations are provided on every page. Space: Creative Painting is recommended for advanced students and experienced amateurs.
