New! First in a series of Little Art Books
A Collection of Thoughts, Concepts and Ideas to Paint By is the first in an on-going series of Little Art Books by Joyce Hicks. It is filled with bits and pieces of information personally collected by the artist as she learned how to transform ordinary landscape scenes into beautiful paintings. The kind of information that most accelerated her personal growth as an artist is now available as a companion guide to her teaching. It concludes with a step-by-step demonstration of one of her popular paintings and also includes a blank page for personal note taking on each forward facing page. The size is intentionally small (4.5 x 5.5) so that it fits easily into a bag with other art supplies. It’s a cute one-of-a-kind Little Art Book packed with information straight from the artist. Printed on glossy stock for crisp brilliant color with a clear vinyl cover to protect it from accidental drips and splatters.
