with Chinkok Tan
Over the past 30
years, hundreds of students have learned to paint in 2 weeks or less, some
instantly, with the revolutionary method and process of Tan. With your interest
as a starting point, you can too. No previous experience is necessary.
Contrary to popular belief,
you don't need courses in drawing, anatomy, perspective or color theory in
order to learn to paint or to create great watercolor paintings. Now you can
simplify the entire process with author Chinkok Tan's proven method of using
shape and light values. Tan teaches by demonstration, so you can see for
yourself how shape and light values
create everything. For materials, you only need the three primary colors to mix
all your hues and light values and one cheap brush.
