Lachlan Goudie launches The Secrets of Painting - Glasgow Sauchiehall St

Lachlan Goudie, author of The Story of Scottish Art joins us to launch his new book, The Secrets of Painting.

A new history of painting as told through the eyes and hands-on insights of a practising artist.

The first question that Lachlan Goudie asks himself when he sees a work of art is not ‘why’ it was created but ‘how’. For this book he poses that question of artworks created by the earliest humans to artists today, focusing on the technical inventions and turning points that at each stage have marked a new chapter in the history of art.
