Must have, great reference for any artist or to try other art materials
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a great reference for any artist or anyone who wants to take art classes and do not know anything about any media. It provides great background information for each media: charcoal, pencil, watercolor, oil, acrylic, etc...great visuals of art materials, samples of pencil and pen lines and complete samples of artwork created with each media. This is a must have in your home library whether you are an experience artist or if you just have started creating art. I borrowed this book and it was never returned! This book is worth having for reference that I bought a second copy and this time is not leaving my home library :)
