This review is from: Art School: A Complete Painter's Course (Paperback)
This is one of the most versatile, non-intimidating reads on using acrylics, watercolor, and oil -- as well as choosing the right equipment, supplies, surfaces, etc. The guidance is written for those who are new to painting, so nothing is assumed and all details, tips, and things experienced artists typically learned from mistakes are adequately covered. If you are looking for a single-source book to guide you on your artistic painting endeavors, this book is true resource guide that will take you through your all three mediums like no other book.
