Ann Templeton [and] Eugene L. Mendonsa

"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, while 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. She takes her cues from music and puts her brush to play as an instrument. "I believe a painting should begin gently, build to a crescendo and then end quietly . . . Every brushstroke becomes a note." In her second book, Color and Beyond, Ann Templeton joyfully shares her knowledge and expertise, delves deeply into her painterly processes, and explores for the reader the inspirations which have sustained her throughout her almost 40 year career as a painter. She has developed techniques to capture the landscape quickly and to interpret it with her unique vision of color and design. She 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 as opposed to 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
