American Art Gallery Announces Publication of a New Series of Monographs
“18 Steps to Painting the Light” is a series of art instruction monographs with paintings by Michele Byrne.
Each monograph can be laid flat because of its spiral binding. You can proceed in a step by step fashion to paint following the artists instructions. All that you need in terms of paint, brushes and canvas is fully detailed in each monograph.
In each monograph the painting changes but the steps stay the same.
Follow along as the artist creates a painting bathed in the light of the season and time of day. Learn the basics of impressionism where the details of the painting are expressed with the strokes of a brush.
The 18 Step approach was developed and written by the team of Michele Bryne and Barbara Dougherty
Now Available: Only $15 each or 3 for $40 Plus shipping and handling
