ME: A Synthesis of Painting PDF Book
Painting the Portrait and Figure in Watercolor
Almost 10 years ago Michael put together a detailed handout for his 3 - 6 month “Painting the Realist Figure in Watercolor Color” classes, explaining the methodology and technique he has developed to paint his unique life-size figurative watercolors.

He wanted them to have high quality reference material to accompany the notes they were supposed to be taking in class, and to help them in their work long after the class was finished. And apart from that, they wouldn’t stop nagging him for it.
Before long the word spread that his secrets were out, and we were receiving requests from even his non-students to buy copies.
Having had such a huge interest in Michael’s techniques for achieving such unbelievably controlled effects, we suddenly realized what a perfect accompaniment this workbook would be with our “Painting the Figure in Watercolor” dvd, especially as Michael didn’t get a chance to speak during the demonstration because of the shortage of time.

|
Now Michael has taken the whole thing apart page by page, digitally restored all the images for CD-rom and added many new examples and new information to illustrate his points plus lots more.
In this 23 page, full color work-e-book on CD-rom, Michael goes into in-depth detail on his painting process including preparatory work, color theory, composition and his method of painting and achieving realism in this extraordinarily challenging, illusive, yet sublime medium.
You can enroll in any art school or art class in the world, and you won’t be taught half of the nuggets of gold on process, materials, preparation, color or composition contained in this little treatise, nor will you find it in any book or video apart from our demonstration DVD on the subject. This information is a world exclusive to ARTACADEMY.COM
