First Sentence
Before starting a painting or drawing, it is worth spending time CHOOSING and PREPARING the SURFACE, or support, as this will have a great bearing on which medium you use, and the effects you are able to achieve with it. Read the first page

This is my favourite mediums and techniques resource, full of helpful hints when experimenting. Its photographs and art reference are absolutely stimulating and inspiring, and make you want to get your paints out and make a real mess! Highly recommended.

Beautiful,

This review is from: Artist's Manual: A Complete Guide to Painting and Drawing Materials and Techniques (Paperback)
I'm a true novice, a friend once said I like to "color". She may be right! I find this book informative (basic info for people like me who didn't go to art class in school) and inspirational. I love the art in it and the collage with art materials on the cover and throughout the book is stunning. A must even for us non-artists! I bought the book a few years back and still dig it out when I feel the urge to be creative. That to me is a sign of a good book! It is a book that I look at over and over again, and doesn't get "dated".
