OVERVIEW:-

DRAWING AND PAINTING
Do you want a fresh approach to your art? We can help you showing you how to tackle every problem in a logical way.
Our series of Art Manuals by Philip Brown contain all the essential practical guidance you need to develop the confidence and skill that only real knowledge can impart.

LIFE THROUGH THE EYES OF THE MASTERS
Shows you how the Old Masters saw Figure Drawing. In this way we can train our own vision.

PICTURE MAKING
We also have to be able to understand how we see ourselves and how to put down what we see. This book goes simply but deeply into this fascinating subject.

PEN DRAWING AND THE ART OF HATCHING
I get my new students drawing with a pen from the first day. This gives them confidence in drawing directly, without continually rubbing out what they draw in pencil.

A PAINTER IN SPAIN
Here are Philip Brown`s firsthand reactions on visiting and painting in Spain on his own for six weeks. This resulted in him moving there with his wife and young family for thirteen years.

NEVER MIND PICASSO. CREATE YOUR OWN WORLD!
We too easily adopt the mannerisms of other artists’ This innovative book will show you how instead to develop your own vision.

THE ESSENTIALS OF DRAWING AND PAINTING
Shows you that in spite of the so-called modern thinking that anything goes, there are actually guidelines to follow and skills to learn, so that you can really understand about colour and form and how to use them to be truly creative.

STILL-LIFE AND PLANT DRAWING
An eminently practical little book meaningfully guiding you through many days of work whether in an art school or at home.

WORKING OUTSIDE
Applies what has been learnt in the studio to the wider world outside with its additional challenges of space and distance.

KNOW YOUR WAY IN DRAWING AND COLOUR
Puts under one cover two booklets I did for my students at the Eastbourne College of Arts and Technology. The first section introduces many useful terms in Drawing and their meaning while the Colour section explains the very helpful idea of the Ostwald Colour Solid.

PAGES FROM OUR LIFE
Describes the busy life of my wife Gounil and myself in the varied fields of Art teaching, Drawing, Painting, Exhibitions Stained Glass Commissions and Portrait Heads and Bas-reliefs in clay, with over twenty five books on Art, Local History and Poetry.

LIFE DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS
On returning to England after 13 years in Spain, I taught LIFE as well as general art subjects at ECAT and found it great both for composition and creativity.

MUSIC IN SPAIN
I regularly used to draw musicians at local concerts in Altea, some were published as illustrations to articles in the English papers; they sometimes bore the signatures of the performers.

LANDSCAPES
Mostly from France, Spain and Sweden. This is the first of a definitive selection of my Landscapes.

STAINED GLASS
By Gounil & Philip Brown - a collection of our commissioned work, some of it in churches, hospitals and schools which regrettably no longer exist.
