"The brush of Ann Templeton flows with rich, vibrant color. A master colorist and abstract expressionist working in both oil and pastel, she relies on the spontaneous and the impulsive, dabbing her brush in a mound of paint that feels right for that particular moment and letting intuition have a say in what goes down on the canvas."--Michael Chesley Johnson in The Art of Ann Templeton: A Step Beyond (Fresco Fine Art Publications)In Color and Beyond, Ann Templeton shares her secrets, accumulated from practice, study, and from teaching workshops all over the United States and abroad, and offers outstanding lessons covering color, value, and design. She discusses the differences between en plein air and indoor painting, gives an excellent conceptual and insightful understanding of tools, visions, and polish. Templeton goes beyond the basic color theories and value relationships, taking the artist into another level of understanding.
