Advice to Young Artists-Ch.6
The Color Monster

These excuses are a bad habit that we fall into and teachers try to help try to help us with this, but it is important we need change this way of thinking. As beginners we will learn from Munsell system, Lands theory, and all the great artist from the past to further our work and communicate to the audience.
