Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A study of perception and its role in drawing and painting, featuring practical exercises. Studio Seeing offers a close examination of perception as it is used by an artist in the studio. Michael Torlen shares here the successful process he has developed over decades of teaching and studio practice in a straightforward way that other artists can apply to their own work. Using examples from his own experience and supporting them with a rich illustration program that includes works from historical and contemporary artists, Torlen distills clear, effective principles for painting and drawing that will help artists make great strides in their understanding and ability. Each chapter is rounded out with exercises designed to help artists immediately understand and apply its concepts. A compelling case for vision-based pedagogy. It provides a wealth of insights, guidance, and exercises grounded in Gestalt perceptual theory and neurological research.
