Frank J. Reilly - The Elements of Painting
Frank Reilly never wrote a book but Ralph Garafola has been told by fellow students that this is the book he would have written. Now he's sharing it with you. "Frank J. Reilly - The Elements of Painting" presents the principles and concepts of the craftsmanship involved in the graphic arts. The guidelines presented here will help students and professional painters discover and/or further develop their craft and also assist art teachers and art schools in the instruction of their students; it serves well as a college text book of art instruction. Garafola wrote "Frank J. Reilly - The Elements of Painting" word-for-word from his class notes as Reilly taught. In applying what you learn from this 232 page book which includes 183 pages of color and B/W images and charts, you will develop your own style, naturally without copying the styles of other artists or teachers. Reilly taught how to draw, how to paint as well as picture making - which involves the composition arrangement of abstract elements to tell a story, including drawing the head/model, anatomy; drapery; and perspective; how to apply light and shade; color: hue, value and chroma; the controlled palette; skills in brush handling including hard and soft edges; indoor studio figures, portraits and still lifes. Artist/Author/Educator Ralph Garafola and many famous artists are part of the lineage of the great instructor Frank J. Reilly. Ralph studied at The Art Student League for over seven years with Reilly, Instructor and Commissioner of New York City.
