Summary
Artist Mary Whyte has learned many lessons over the years--lessons about art and, perhaps more important to her, lessons about life.In this book, she uses specific illustrations from her training, her teaching, her travels and her mentors to show the reader how to see and how to appreciate the artist's experience. Referring to numerous color and black and white examples, she explains what her intentions and feelings were during the composition and completion of many of her favorite works.
Excerpts
Red Most people would say that the color of youth is green, but to me, the color of youth is red. Red is the color of lipstick and lobsters, fast cars and French kisses, sassy hats and ruby slippers. It is the first color we see arcing across the sky after a spring rain, the crimson badge of passion and inexperience proudly worn by the young. My life as an artist began with red. At least, that was the color my father saw when I told him I wanted to go to art school.
