This art instruction video for intermediate to advanced artists is packed with bonuses. George James covers a range of topics, including what makes a painting an artistic expression; art as communication; creating mystery with darks; design considerations for communicating your personal statement or metaphor into your art; and numerous YUPO painting techniques you can apply to your work. This video will help take your painting to the next level. Bonus Chapters (72 min.) include: * Zones * The Grid * Point of View * Exchange * Linking * Drawing with Shapes * Schematic Drawing * Acrylics on Yupo * George James Gallery * George James Book About the Master's Series Workshops are chosen to be part of the MASTER'S SERIES based on their exceptionally high design and thinking content. While providing a more in-depth view of technique, it also provides the instructor an opportunity to share the foundation of thought upon which their style and content are built. Technique still plays an important role, but it is no longer the “stand alone” dominant aspect of the workshop. MASTER'S SERIES workshops provide students the opportunity to understand the design, thought and feeling that goes into making a successful piece of art.
