Mechanics of Art

I decided to write this book because I’ve never been able to find a single, clear textbook that teaches the fundamentals of art in a way that is easy to understand. This information has been gathered over the course of my forty-plus years of painting. I’ve learned from books, from public and private schools, from other artists, from my work in galleries, and most of all, from trial and error. I hope this book will save you some of the same trouble.

Whether you are a young student interested in a career in art, a professional person pursuing art as a hobby, or an older person returning to art after a long absence, this book is designed to benefit you. It includes a lot of detailed, practical knowledge. This sometimes abstract and complex information is made clear with lots of illustrations.

Each module of this book is designed to stand alone so that may study them in any order. At the end of each module are some ‘Hands On’ projects to help you get the most out of each topic. These are simple, practical and enjoyable. They can easily be adapted for classroom situations.

I wish you good success in your endeavors to learn all you can about art. Above all, remember to have fun!
