Art & Design

Schmid, Richard.  Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting.  Manchester Center, VT: Stove Prairie Press, 1999.

Mr. Park chose this book because:

“Richard Schmid is an interesting, down to earth individual.  He has a wit about him that is entertaining which makes studying his writing and art works memorable.    Mr. Schmid shares a lifetime of painting with chapters of knowledge about painting and its many subtle attributes.  As I continue to study his accomplishments he inspires me to new heights.  I feel a confidence developing within me and my new study of oil painting as I borrow his knowledge.”
