Standard Bearer: Painting as a Hobby in Its Own Right

THE SHORT VERSION

Foundation Paints prompt Jervis and his colleagues to reflect on painting as a central pleasure of the hobby.

Better instruction should build confidence without reducing painting to a mechanical exercise, encouraging practice, experiment and respect for the craft as well as the spectacle it brings to play.
