This book was not so much written as constructed, somewhat like a
painting. It is a collection of teaching notes from nearly thirty
years, each note created in the crucible of an art class. A comment
from one of his readers: Ryno Swart has written a book as magical
as the most successful painting . . . it says what needs to be
said-no more, no less. It gets to the heart of the matter and is
peppered with pithy and relevant notes such as "Half the skill of
painting is leaving it alone." "You can't make a painting work; you
can only allow it to work." "A painting must be conducted like a
military campaign; planned and organised and strategised." This is
a book that should not lie on a coffee table or grace a bookshelf.
This is a book that should be propped up in your studio or wherever
you work and should soon become spotted and splashed with paint.
