From the Back Cover
A fresh introduction to the fundamentals, CONVERSATIONS IN PAINT is part painter's sketchbook, part philosopher's journal, part instructor's primer. If you paint, it will give new insight into your work. If you don't paint, it will inspire you. Open to any page and learn to see.
From the Inside Flap
A work of theory made practical and a personal notebook made public, CONVERSATIONS IN PAINT is an innovative introduction to the language of painting-and how to speak it fluently.
In a series of succinct, two-page "conversations," inventively illustrated and buttressed by quotations from famous artists and teachers, Charles Dunn explains the rules to paint by. Here are the four principles of design: contrast, gradation, theme and variations, and restraint. The linear versus the painterly. Expression and mood. Open and closed color. The three-value system. One-point, two-point, and three-point perspective. Pieter de Hooch's virtual textbook on representing volume. Underpainting and layering. Plus value systems, studio habits, drawing techniques, insights into learning, and much more. A lifelong painter and student of painting, Dunn has distilled his years behind the brush into lessons that will benefit anyone, from beginner to accomplished artist.
