Artist's Painting Techniques is your practical guide to learning how to bring out your inner artist with a wide range of painting styles, whether you want to learn how to use acrylics, watercolors, or oil paints.
With progression in mind, this master class will teach you the basic principles of painting and then inspire you to move on to new challenges and create masterpieces of your own. It explains which tools, materials, and methods should be used along the way, but lets you develop your artistic skills on your own terms rather than providing a series of steps to be followed.
Whether you are a beginner wanting to take up a new hobby or an experienced artist who wants to expand your horizons and learn new styles, Artist's Painting Techniques will set you on your path to creativity.

This guide functions both as a highly practical technical handbook and a reference resource. It begins with a general section on painting basics, which covers observational skills, color theory, perspective, sketching, choosing subjects and media, working outdoors, and displaying completed works. The remainder of the book is divided among watercolor, acrylic, and oil paints, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced techniques described for each medium. Professional artists developed and contributed to every section. Dynamically laid out two-page spreads crammed with close-up photographs present tools, materials, and techniques in action, as well as hundreds of paintings. The included diagrams assist in clarifying the processes being explained. VERDICT This handbook will be a foundational and popular addition to any art instruction shelf.
