I was a student of Gloria Foss' back in the 70's in Hawaii.
She was the best teacher anyone could have, and her classes have been distilled wonderfully into this book. Gloria expected her students to work hard and to think about what they were doing, so this book is made for people who really want to learn and to be a good artist.. Do the exercises and make yourself into a true painter! I have been a professional artist for 35 years and her teachings are the basis for my success as a printmaker and a painter in all media.
