Paint Lab

Paint Lab is packed with unique, experimental techniques and ideas designed to encourage learning through exploration and play. It's organized into 52 units, or "labs," which may be explored in any order that inspires you.

This book offers a range of exercises broken down by theme — Who (artist-inspired), What (tools and materials), When (a time-based concept), Where (a sense of place), and How (inspired by a technique or method).

Paint Lab is illustrated with brilliant full-color images and multiple examples of each exercise. There are no right or wrong results. Finding new forms of expression in your work and gaining confidence in your skills is the underlying goal.

Designed to inform and inspire new artists and rekindle passion for painting in experienced artists, Paint Lab offers a visual, non-linear approach to learning painting techniques, and reinforces a fun and fearless approach to creating art.
