Film Overview

CREATIVE BREAKOUT
The Art of Freedom
Essential Techniques & Ideas

Do you want to learn about cool techniques and exciting materials for making abstract paintings and drawings? When it comes to creative concepts and processes this DVD rocks!

A big key to the creative process is to relax, to let yourself be free and to have fun. This is where the creativity takes place. It’s a free flowing process of heart and mind.

Creative Breakout, The Art of Freedom is about spontaneity and the creative process, visual composition, and trusting your inner impulse. It is loaded with ideas, tips, suggestions and demonstrations of direct and exciting ways to work with luscious watercolors, acrylics, soft and hard pastels, oil pastels, Sumi ink, and Art Chunky’s.

The sections on how to use the materials and compositional space provide the artist with simple guiding concepts and techniques. The idea is to work spontaneously and respond to what’s happening on the page while keeping the focus going, that is, “keeping the melody”.

Bill says, “The really big key to the creative process is to believe in yourself as you work. I hope that my free-form and free-flowing approach will encourage you to work freely and confidently, too. Learning to trust and follow your inner impulses will put jazzy power in your paintings and take you places beyond your expectations. This approach will grow your artistic knowledge and build your confidence, too!”

Bill Buchman, an accomplished artist, giving teacher and excellent communicator, has empowered students and artists of all levels to make progress beyond their expectations with his remarkable teaching methods. He has studied with America’s foremost art educators and his work is represented internationally by Gallerihuset of Copenhagen. Savoir Faire, importer of some of the world’s finest art materials, is a sponsor of Bill and his art. And this groundbreaking DVD is distributed by MacPherson’s, the largest distributor of art materials in the US.
