It looks like Harley Brown has a new book titled Harley Brown's Inspiration For Every Artist. Right now it is priced at $26.75 USD. Now, if it is anything like his last book it will sell out and you won't be able to find a copy for under $100. So I suggest picking it up while you can. I haven't got my hands on it yet, but i should have it by late next week. Oh, the anticipation, like a kid waiting for Christmas. After I read it over a couple times I'll post a review. From the looks of it, the book is another no nonsense book written in the style of his first book. The summary states…
"Harley offers 400 separate thoughts, observations and gems of teaching insight gleaned from his lifetime as an artist."
What intrigues me the most is a statement by Harley…
"I have designed the book specially for working and studying artists. This means you can see the pictorial thought processes that went into creating all the paintings. I have left many in a semi-finished state so you can see the build-up of each image and the strokes I used."
There is nothing better than having it laid out for you in steps, seeing how everything progresses and comes together. The next best thing to a Harley Brown workshop. Speaking of which, does Harley put on any workshops? If he did I would definitely have to go. You can order it directly from International Artist.
Does Harley Brown offer any live workshops?
I know this is a year late, but I only just saw this today. Harley retired from doing workshops in 1999. They were rarely in North America; students would travel to various scenic destinations (Fiji, Australia, etc) and would spend large portions of their days working with Harley and Tom Hill and others.
There are no plans to return to doing them, I’m sorry to say.
