<p>Dust jacket notes:  "This book is concerned with the artist's experience in recording his visual world as an art form, exploring how the creative painter SEES.  Because the art of drawing and painting is a visual experience, the author approaches the subject through the understanding of observation.  Jack Clifton, who has taught for over twenty-five years, concentrates on learning to see first, techniques next, and then melds the two together.  He believes that, with an understanding of basic problems faced by all artists, students can more quickly acquire the ability to be self-critical and sooner be able to teach themselves.  Without imposing a limited viewpoint, Clifton has provided many step-by-step diagrams and illustrations of his own work as well as those of the masters in describing how to SEE and paint creatively.  We recommend this book to all artists, particularly those who teach or to students who are being taught. It is basically a beginner's book on how to paint realistically, but the book abounds with information valuable to artists of all levels of experience.  Hardcover, 11 x 8.5 inches, 160 pages, 25 pages in full color.</p>
