From dust jacket notes: "One of the best ways to learn how to paint is to look over the shoulder of a professional as he creates a painting - to listen to him talk as he works; follow his thoughts, his vision, and his intentions; and watch a painting in the process of becoming a work of art. Bernard Dunstan, a renowned British painter and teacher, invites you into his studio for a realistic look at the ups and downs of the creative process, the excitement as well as the mistakes and potential problems facing a painter, and how to correct or solve them and put them to work for you. His style - both in painting and writing - is fresh, relaxed and personal. This is a rather unusual book. Although the author presents his ideas as step-by-step painting progressions, he works intuitively from a series of notes or sketches, and lets them develop naturally into a single painting, or even a series of paintings.
"This book takes you through the collection gallery by gallery, illuminating the art and installations in each room"--From preface.
This book is significant for its concept of "openness"--the artist's decision to leave arrangements of some constituents of a work to the public or to chance--and for its anticipation of two themes of literary theory: the element of multiplicity and plurality in art, and the insistence on literary response as an interaction between reader and text.
