From the Publisher
Art has never been the sole domain of creative geniuses and professionals. For every Degas or O'Keefe, there have been countless others who developed their talents without intending to become famous or even to make a living from their artwork. Today's enlarged scope of permissible styles, media, and subject matter has made the range of artists greater than ever—and increased the need for an accessible guide to art resources. Serious nonprofessionals now have a formidable new tool at their disposal. How to Grow as an Artist by Daniel Grant is a comprehensive guide to improving one's skills and becoming part of the larger arts community.
