“Progressive Painting – your creative journey focuses on
where all ought to begin: on the nature of the true artist. Ellen Jean
Diederich leads the novice from initial acceptance of creativity as a
special gift and on to its development through a series of increasingly
complex concepts and exercises that both enhance and exploit the powers
of intuitive art. Progressive Painting – your creative journey offers
a lot more than a simple introduction to tools, materials, and technique.
A great gift for the budding artist.”
- Raymond J. Steiner, Editor/Art Critic, ART TIMES.
