Product Description
by Tesia Blackburn (Author), Patrice Drago (Editor)
Everyone has an artist inside them. At least that's what veteran artist, Tesia Blackburn, believes. In her newest book she encourages everyone to ignore what people think and get started making art - dig into creativity like the big chocolate cake that it is.
Full of humor and inspiration, It's Only Painting is a manifesto of sorts. In the vein of "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon, "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert and "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield, Blackburn breaks down inspiration into mangeable chunks and kicks the fear of creating right in the butt.
Compiled from her lectures to students over 25 years of teaching painters, Tesia Blackburn's essays on creativity are meant to get you thinking and working.
You think you need special training? You don't.
You think you need a big studio? You don't.
You just need the willingness to do the work.
You can make art. Right here, right now.
