How to Paint What Doesn't Exist

Imaginative Realism

This book completes the other (Color and Light). It has a lot of art, examples and it explains well the process of creating an object/sculpture in order to create a painting after ( the figure that is represented on the book cover). He explains that we can paint the imagination by creating it first, then it's a matter of setting the light correctly on the studio and paint what you just sculpted or composed on your table.
If not, this and the other book are amazing to keep as a collection, because of the amount of full page art.

It might be a little overwhelming for beginners.
