Idea

Teaching has given me an idea. What about a book that describes how a picture works. I have read a lot of how to draw books that talk about drawing in terms of techniques, but have not read any that discuss the abstract devices image makers use to construct illusions. If you understand the parts of the illusion like pictorial space, form, and color, technique becomes secondary. I think this may get more to the heart of the idea of learning how to draw and paint.

I will probably start writing it sometime this week. If you want an advance manuscript email me at donovan.bill@gmail.com
