Painting Basics

Jerry Yarnell's popular PBS program, "The Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art, " has brought his brilliant style of landscape painting to thousands of fans worldwide. Like Bob Ross before him, Jerry's aim is to share with beginning artists the joy of creating nature scenes full of glowing majesty. Each book includes ten beautiful step-by-step projects designed to improve their skills and confidence.

We've all seen, and sometimes snickered at, the inspirational painters who teach purely romantic, "almighty and majestic" painting on cable and public TV. The best known, like Bill Alexander and Bob Ross, have been paid the complement of parody on late-night TV. Yarnell has been reaching huge audiences on over 160 PBS stations. In this first volume in a series of books, he presents ten landscape projects with the assurance that "no talent or previous experience" is required. Each acrylic painting is completed in 15 to 20 steps. Your public library patrons will thank you for acquiring this book. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
