"Discover Her Art is a brilliant guide to understanding how a painting does what it does. Formal elements are broken down into understandable language. . . . All the activities achieve that rarity: a fun deep dive into how an image is made and a creative moment of learning by doing. Fabulous for both the experienced professional (like me) and the young artist just starting out." —Emily Eveleth, painterAuthor Biography
