Paint Alchemy combines exploratory techniques with a process-oriented philosophy that is guided by a focus on creativity and design. Paint Alchemy is a new series which explores how to build a painting practice. Grounded in a process-oriented philosophy, novices and experienced painters alike will learn how to create freely by combining a foundation in solid techniques and design principles with an open approach to creativity that stays focused on the moment, rather than the end result. You will learn how to prepare your art space, work with intention, and move back and forth between action and observation, responding to work along the way. Paint Alchemy will help you develop a full perspective on the process; from developing ideas in a sketchbook to inform your artistic choices, to building upon and elaborating your ideas to crystalize your vision. As you work through the many exercises in Paint Alchemy, you'll get a better understanding of color theory, mark making, representation form, abstraction, and composition, and will also learn how mindfulness, experimentation, and reflection give way to wonder as your paintings develop. -- (source of summary not specified)
