Before the books
Companion Volumes
The Art of Rehumanism
Six hands-on workshops: why we paint, how a picture tells a story, the themes that keep coming back, caring for the viewer, craft, and a studio routine that lasts.
Volume TwoStories Worth Telling
A studio library: subjects worth painting now, close readings of master paintings, old stories to retell, worked examples and exercises. Open it anywhere.
A note from Andrew: I'm partnering with AI to get these ideas to you faster. I have fifty things going, and this lets me share what I'm thinking now instead of months from now. The narration and some visuals are AI-assisted; my own voiceover is coming. If anything seems off, assume it was the AI. Everything here is a work in progress.
