| Ann Templeton is proud to announce her new book , Color and Beyond. Unlike her
first book, The Art of Ann Templeton: A Step Beyond, which is a
collector’s item; Color and Beyond is a how-to-paint book, based on her
forty-year career as an acclaimed artist and teacher. However, it is also a
“step beyond,” going deeper into the art of color than is possible in her
workshop lectures, organizing her approach to painting an orderly set of
concepts and techniques.

quotes of artists through the centuries.
