Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Monroe Katz is not only a talented artist, he is an equally talented teacher and storyteller. Instead of a lifeless, how-to text, Dare to Create is the equivalent of a gifted, experienced friend at your side, guiding you through each step of the artistic process.” — A. Cort Sinnes, award-winning artist and author.
“Monroe is passionate about art. In portraits, he has a talent for capturing the spirit of the sitter. His landscapes are bold and painterly with perfect color balance. He follows artistic guidelines but is not hindered by them. Like the painter Whistler, he spends much time 'effacing the footsteps of work,' purposely making slick passages rough around the edges, and always focusing on The Big Picture.”—Julie English, master painter.
“This book is a feast for the senses. We sense the author’s emotions and we learn to find emotions in a painting. We see what he sees and he illustrates that by sharing drawings and paintings that are a visual feast for the eye. If you don't already paint, you will want to after reading this book and you will want to keep it with you as your guide throughout your own frustrating, wonderful, emotional artistic journey.”— Susanne Santos, painter and teacher
