"(...) is a book about unlearning. It is not meant to be used as a textbook, or even as a course in creativity, but as a catalyst. It is essentially meant to open the space for you to paint-to arouse your curiosity and your desire to create, and to show you how readily available your creativity is. The tools to paint naturally are already within you; they need only a simplification, a clearing of the ground, to manifest. The suggestions presented here are designed to challenge your self-imposed barriers to creativity; they re a departure point into your own experience rather than rules to follow."--P. xviii-xix.[-]
