Details: Product Description From the salt marshes and moss-draped live oaks of the South Carolina Lowcountry to the New York art world, Clear Seeing Place takes the reader behind the studio door to explore the making of a painter in intimate detail. Brimming with the joy of process and a love of art history, Brian Rutenberg reveals the places, people, and experiences that led to the paintings for which he is well known today. This book is packed with ideas, observations, techniques, and career advice all thoughtfully arranged into six sections designed to inspire artists of all levels, as well as anyone interested in creativity. Clear Seeing Place is a companion to the artist’s popular YouTube series, “Brian Rutenberg Studio Visits,” and is a love letter to painting written by a painter.

It surprises me. It entertained me. It educated me. It made me want to read it slowly so I can enjoy it longer."                                                                                      -Ali Julia   Hall of Fame Top Ten Reviewer "Educational, enlightening, and warmly evocative of the rapture of creativity, Brian has succeeded in writing about art - and us."                                                              -Grady Harp   Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer Vine Voice About the Author Widely considered to be one of the finest American painters of his generation, Brian Rutenberg has spent forty years honing a distinctive method of compressing the rich color and form of his native coastal South Carolina into complex landscape paintings that imbue material reality with a deep sense of place. He is a Fulbright Scholar, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow, and a Basil Alkazzi USA Award recipient, and he has had over two hundred exhibitions throughout North America. Rutenberg’s paintings are in private collections all over the world and are included in such public collections as the Butler Institute of American Art, Yale University Art Gallery, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Provincetown Art Association and Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Peabody Essex Museum of Art, Greenville County Museum of Art, South Carolina State Museum, and many others. He lives and works in New York City with his wife, Kathryn, and their two children. For more about Brian Rutenberg, please visit www.brianrutenbergbooks.com and www.brianrutenbergart.com.

Jana pushes her students to pay attention to what they are trying to achieve in a very thoughtful manner. She does this without telling us what to paint, but instead, she encourages us to explore areas outside our comfort zone while choosing our subjects and color.

When I first laid eyes on the piece that had to come home with me, I had a visceral response and felt as though I was taking a trip into my past. Jana had composed 3 Colorado Springs scenes as a trio. These were of the Navaho Hogan, Herman’s Plumbing, and the art deco Garage at North Corona and Columbia. I’m the 5 th generation of my family to grow up in Colorado Springs, you can say the city is definitely in my heart and soul. I knew I could not walk away that night without at least one of them. I hope in time to procure the other 2...or more. Every time I walk past that painting I feel that tug to a different place and time. It takes a special artist that can evoke that level of response.

Jana is a very supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable teacher. Her teaching style quieted my fears and emboldened me to make art my way, intuitively. Her extensive knowledge and experience in color theory and watercolor technique helped me develop skills I haven't learned in college art class. And there's a saying that emerged throughout the two years I've been in Jana's class, "It's never just about art that you learn in Jana's class."
