Painting in oil or acrylics is one of the most popular of the fine arts, wi th an enormous body of lore for the aspiring painter to master. Diane Ediso n offers a new approach that explains traditional techniques and materials, but also emphasizes expression and creativity. Edison wants the new painte r to feel fearless and free to experiment.
