BELIEVING THAT STRONG FEELINGS MAKE FOR STRONG ART, this 13 insightful book shows painters how to scratch the surface of their unconscious to generate powerful emotions that unleash more meaningful work.
The author encourages readers to tap into childhood memories and other aspects of the inner self as revealed in animals, self-portraiture, and real or imagined landscapes. Using this approach, plus the fluid properties of the watercolor medium as it drips, forms puddles, and responds to every stroke of the brush, the reader develops paintings from the inside, with inner life as the model, and from the outside, with nature as the model.
Stefan Draughon, a psychologist and artist, combines her skills by instructing a course called "Art and Psychology" at NYU and the New School in New York, and also at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her paintings are shown at the Broome Street Gallery in her home city, New York.
