DARING ADVENTURE IN PAINT! My first book by Quarry Books! Daring Adventures in Paint is a colorful, playful adventure of a book that explores inspirational paint and mixed-media techniques. My book’s approach to making art is a bit like uncovering a hidden treasure, a treasure that resides within each aspiring artist. Through a myriad of both practical applications and creative exercises, this book shows artists how to “find their magic”—the place of confidence from which they can access the vision of what they want to share with the world.Buy it signed alongside a beautiful print from the book directly from me here!
