Phil Starke Video

This month's video: 
​
Steps to Bring Depth & Perspective
​to your Painting
​Phil Starke has graciously allowed TPS to share his video's with our membership.  His videos are usually in oil but the art theory of each video is valuable to artists working in all mediums. Check out Phil's web site where he shares so many of his videos, read his bio and about his gallery representation.  Phil is one of the most gracious and sharing artist of our lifetime.
