Doug Higgins, Artist Statement

The work of Doug Higgins is best described as contemporary impressionism. From his home in Santa Fe, NM, he travels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe painting landscapes and seascapes on location. He works en plein air either with a portable easel, in his painting truck or in his fully equipped studio RV. I found his site and clicked on the link -- Book. And what a surprise it was!! It is basically a free book, where the artist has dropped a lot of his notes on drawing and painting. And he remembers the teachings of his mentor Frank Reilly. Reilly begins with the basics of drawing the human figure, to painting with oil. And not only that he gives us a truly inspiration insight into his life as an artist and pursuing our artisitc goals. Incidentally the htm is labeled - Artist statement. To go just click on the link I've put below: Doug Higgins Notes and Teachings
