Gumroad – Creative Fundamentals Vol. 2 by Devin Korwin

Do you wish you could see beyond the style of a great painting and incorporate the underlying knowledge into your own work? To confidently use color and value, from life and from imagination? Most importantly, do you wish you could have fun with painting, without the frustration of feeling like you are missing something? If so, then this is for you.

This is the book I wish I had when I started out. It took years to find the answers I was looking for, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I believe this knowledge shouldn’t be expensive or take years to find, so I put it together all in one place: the basics that everyone needs to start a career in the arts.
