Alvaro Castagnet....
Hi Everyone!!!
It is with great pleasure that I am now able to present my new book to you all.
I know you have been waiting long enough, so I am very excited and eager to share it with you.
I have tried to answer all the questions that I am often asked by you.
Let me tell you a bit of what you will find.
Beyond Technique: Painting With Passion contains a large collection of my work, covering a vast variety of subjects, ranging from street scenes, boat scenes, interiors, facades, landscapes, rainy days, etc. — all with descriptive captions, expanding on the key concepts I explain in the main six separate chapters.
I have also included start to finish, exciting step-by-step demonstrations displaying a variety of subjects including a landscape, a boat scene, a streetscape, and a still life of my own studio here in Montevideo.
I am sure this book will show you how to make great paintings by going beyond technique and achieving magic in a passionate way!
