"This is the book with the revelations I
searched for but never found. Art workshops, classes, lessons, DVDs,
books...all good, but something is missing. It’s a fact, students and teachers
want to get right to the painting, often before they should."
"The usual painting demos are great
and I've done many myself.
The problem is people can only
see half of what's going on."
Can you learn to ride a
bicycle
by watching a movie or
reading a book about it?
No, you can't.
It's not an intellectual
activity. There is a
'feel' to it that only comes
from experience
Putting paint on canvas is important,
but there is a lot more to it that
can not be shown in a demo!
Telling students to do
a Thumbnail Sketch
is a start, but not
nearly enough!
The purpose of
Real Art Real Easy
is to bring together in one place the
exercises which have helped me and others to understand what picture making is
really about
Some of them I learned from other artists;
some I stumbled upon myself. Each deals with a skill that will be used
throughout your art career. Use them to begin learning and return to them later
to continue improving or as an energizer when you need to reboot
While meant to be learning opportunities,
it is possible
you’ll end up with some great artwork in the process
Before your next...

About the Author
World-class Artist and
Master Painter
Robert Bissett lives
in north Idaho, travels the world and paints in acrylic, oil and watercolor. He
is known for his portraits, plein-air landscapes and
studio work.
He graduated from the Air
Force Academy in 1967, served over five years as a pilot including two tours in
Viet Nam. Returning to school after the service he graduated from Washington
State University with a degree in architecture, Summa Cum Laude, in 1975.
A career in architecture seemed more practical, but the urge to paint became
overwhelming in the summer of 1980. That fall he had his first show at a
gallery in Anchorage, Alaska. Most of the paintings were landscapes and it sold
out. The following spring a mountain “portrait” of Pioneer Peak was selected as the subject for
a four thousand edition Beautiful Alaska promotional print, 16" x 48". Bissett
moved to Idaho in 1980. He has traveled throughout the US, Japan, Australia,
Spain, Turkey, Ethiopia, Greece, Iran, Greenland, England, Puerto Rico, Mexico,
Costa Rica and Italy. His paintings are a valued part of many private
collections.
Bissett put aside the brushes for a period of seven years in 1997 to focus on
architectural design, specializing in the exciting possibilities of Monolithic
domes. During that time he was responsible for many interesting projects, among
them the Sigler Dome of a Home in Florida that survived hurricane Ivan in '04
and a five dome complex, including one of the largest high end dome homes in
the world, 130' diameter, 55' high and nearly an acre of floor area. In the
summer of 2004 he returned to art with renewed enthusiasm, ready to focus on
his first love - painting.
