This is a book written for aspiring artists of all ages, but especially for young people, to help them learn the essentials of painting and sculpting and, above all, the importance of cutting free and finding their own voice as an artist. Using sketches and paintings from his beloved Rembrandt and other great masters, plus his own work, the author explains composition, color, the use of light and shadow, plus the joys of painting to music, and the creative anguish that every artist faces on his journey of exploration and growth. As with the author's autobiographical novel Sparring with Rembrandt, the writing is clear, entertaining, and filled with wisdom about art and life. The perspective is without any boundaries of language or culture. In one section, the author takes us to Mexico, in another to the fabled Hermitage Museum, in St. Petersburg, and the Rembrandt Museum in Amsterdam -- all to show readers that high art is universal in both technique and appeal.
