The book contains over 30 teaching projects and also the most up-to-date and complete guide to the materials, techniques and methods essential for every artist's development in one handy-sized volume. For each medium the book covers mixing paints, using colour and simple preparation, then takes the reader through all the basic techniques, with step-by-step practical projects. More specialised methods are then explained, clearly and simply, with easy-to-use, step-by-step demonstrations to follow and work through for increasingly advanced and sophisticated effects. Throughout, a gallery of works by top contemporary artists illustrates the skills in action and provide a constant source of inspiration.
