In his own inimitable way Rolf brought the lives and works of the some of the worlds best-loved artists to life, exploring their methods and techniques and then painting his own pictures in their style. Now, in this book to accompany his new series, you can share Rolfs boundless enthusiasm at first-hand by looking over his shoulder as he produces a series of paintings to demonstrate his own easy-to-follow painting methods in close-up detail. Containing all his paintings from the series as well as many previously unseen originals, the book will delight anyone who is interested in art and inspire amateur artists everywhere. Applying that first stroke of paint may seem a very frightening step but it doesnt have to be. In Rolfs own words, Anyone can do it, so let him show you how and share his excitement at the endless possibilities painting offers.
