Art, Craft and Design

It's as easy as A-B-C Artist Ramon Kelley distills years of hard-won experience into five clearly written chapters that simplify and demonstrate how anyone can create powerful and beautiful paintings. Using oil and pastels, he shows how to design a dynamic composition, simplify values, use color and texture to add dimension to a subject and use contrast to create excitement around focal points. Plus, each chapter contains straightforward instructions and a demonstration clearly illustrating every lesson.
