Readers will learn to identify abstract patterns, the relationships between shapes and how to evoke an emotional response from their paintings in The Painterly Approach. They will discover what the painterly approach is and how to define an object by planes of color and value rather than by line. The focus is placed on the abstract pattern rather than in actual objects, on relationships between shapes rather than on detail and on provoking an emotional response rather than absolute realism. The reader will move beyond the fundaments to more advanced theories of perspective, brushstroking, edges, form and shadows. Finally, a step-by-step approach to painting using two demonstrations, one working alla prima, and the other en plein air show how to apply the painterly approach from start to finish.

This title focuses on seeing shapes and values - a concept that is used by many successful artists but is rarely taught.

The teachings in the book are broad and can be applied to any medium, since they relate to expression and emotion in painting.

Artists are always looking to improve the way they visualize their art - to see in a more holistic manner - and this title teaches them the techniques to achieve this goal.
