Daily Painting Book Review

 
"Daily Painting"
Carol Marine

A unique system for jump-starting artistic creativity, encouraging experimentation and growth, and increasing sales for artists of all levels, from novices to professionals.
 

Do you want to bring the joy back into your art?

Have you landed in a frustrating rut? Are you having trouble selling paintings in galleries, getting bogged down by projects you can’t seem to finish or abandon, or finding excuses to avoid working in the studio? Author Carol Marine knows exactly how you feel—she herself suffered from painter’s block, until she discovered “daily painting.” The idea is simple: do art (usually small) often (how often is up to you), and if you’d like, post and sell it online. Soon you’ll find that your block dissolves and you’re painting work you love—and more of it than you ever thought possible!

With her encouraging tone and useful exercises, Marine teaches you to:
-Master composition and value
-Become confident in any medium
-Choose subjects wisely
-Stay fresh and loose
-Photograph, post, and sell your art online
-Become connected to the growing movement of daily painters around the world

***********************************
In this book Carol Marine shares and teaches how it's best to start learning how to paint small paintings than to tackle a large one.  

The images she shares are lovely and the way she transports a picture into a painting is great.  

I must admit, I was hoping that this book would share different techniques.  Instead it just uses the same one throughout the book.  

This is a great book for a painter that's just beginning.
