Complete Guide to Materials and Techniques for Drawing and Painting Hardcover – January 1, 2008

This Book isn't a book that you read and then put it on a shelf. This book is a great to be used as a reference book for looking up certain items you might need to use if you are trying to paint a certain type of painting. So, this is a book to have on your shelf but also to be used constantly for reference use.I PURCHASED THIS BOOK FROM AMAZON, YOU TOO SHOULD GO TO AMAZON FIRST TO FIND THE BOOKS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

I thought that I had my favorite art book, until I received Materials and Techniques. This book covers all mediums with explanations and a lot of direction. What materials to get and how to use them, and what paper and or canvas to paint on........I basicly love this book so much that I brought another for a fellow artist friend and they love it also. Thankyou so much.;-)

Good for beginners or refresher

Very good learning tool. It gives clear concise instruction on tools and techniques.

This book is so helpful some of my students have started ordering​ it.

A lot of condensed information carefully formatted and.....fun to read! Originally Spanish, translated into English.

Excellent book to learn from
