Klappentext
Suitable for the beginner and experienced artist alike, Vision of Art draws on epiphanies from the artist's own painting journey to explore the fascinating world of colour, form, and light to offer a unique understanding of the vital elements that produce an effective piece of artwork. With over 40 diagrams and paintings, it provides an accessible and thought-provoking exploration into the connection between our biology and our environment to uncover exactly what makes a painting work and why, and how to recreate what we see on canvas.

Excerpt from a review by Professor Stephen Felmingham of Arts University Plymouth, UK.
"Vision of Art emerges not merely as another instructional manual on technique, but as a heartfelt and deeply personal meditation on the very essence of the creative act. It is a book born from experience, from an artist's own journey through the inevitable landscapes of frustration, failure, and rediscovery. From its opening pages, the author establishes a powerful and inclusive premise: that art is not the exclusive domain of the gifted few, but an intrinsic part of our shared humanity, a "birthright of a human being and a vital and essential part of our existence." By bravely sharing their personal struggles, the author creates an immediate bond of trust and common experience with the reader, making it clear that this book is for anyone who has ever felt disillusioned with their own work and yearned to reconnect with the initial spark that drew them to art in the first place.
The book's most profound strength lies in its relentless focus on the "why" rather than just the "how." It skillfully shifts the reader's perspective away from the mere acquisition of skills towards a more introspective and meaningful inquiry into their own motivations for creating. It poses the question that every artist confronts at some point: why do you make art? This approach is a refreshing antidote to the often-jaded nature of long-term practice. The author champions the idea of renewal through play, framing the artistic process not as a struggle for perfection, but as a joyful, inquisitive exploration. This sense of playfulness is presented as an essential ingredient, a way to dismantle creative blocks and rediscover the simple pleasure of making. The narrative powerfully argues that true art is not simply rendered on the canvas but is first conceived in the mind and, perhaps more accurately, felt in the heart. It delves into the idea that the memories and emotions that drive creation are not just intellectual constructs but are held viscerally within the body, suggesting that the most resonant art comes from a place of deep, personal feeling."
