Guild of Charlotte Artists

I had the honor of speaking recently to the Guild of Charlotte Artists. I prepared a handout, but we ran out of copies, so I promised to post the contents on my blog. Here you go--resources on Perceptual Painting. In this post, I've been able

to add some hyperlinks to cited sources. Enjoy!

“[In painting], the motivation isn’t to get a representation; but to bear witness to SEEING.”
