A practical acrylic and oil painting guide for stronger color, contrast, and composition.

Ever step back from a painting and feel like something is missing? This illustrated guide gives you ten ways to look at your work with fresh eyes. Explore bold color, light and shadow, texture, focal points, and composition through examples from my paintings. Then try each idea in a small exercise you can bring into your own painting process.

Includes ten numbered tips with different paintings, labeled details, practical exercises and self-checks, a printable painting checklist, and acrylic and oil technique notes.

For beginning and returning painters.

Digital download: 15-page PDF only. No physical book or artwork is included.
