This book is a poor guide for beginners & no "Artist's hndbk
This book is of little use to beginners as it does not offer a progressive method to help one learn to either draw or paint.

This book is of little use to beginners as it does not offer a progressive method to help one learn to either draw or paint. It is most certainly not an "...Artist's Hanbook" as it doesen't even begin to touch on the interests and problems of artists.The first book I would recommend to beginners and/or intermediate/advanced students for learning how to learn to draw is THE NATURAL WAY TO DRAW by Kimon Nicolaides. For beginning Painters I would recommend LEARNING [or STARTING} TO PAINT IN OILS by Bernard Dunstan.

The book uses a picture format to teach the technique so that the artist is able to develop their picture on a step by step basis as they see the process unfold within the book. I think this is a fine primer for anyone wanting to explore their interests and development basic technique.

Comprehensive Guide for the Experienced,
By Carms (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Artist's Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing, Watercolor & Oil Painting (Hardcover)
If you have no idea where to start with painting and drawing I recommend "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".
This Artist's Handbook is a terrific resource for those with some experience who are looking to expand their range of skills. The section on using pastels was particularly helpful. A great value, quality art book!

A friend of mine has this exact book and lent it to me. I like the book so much that I decided to purchase it. It is an excellent book for intermediate artists. I would recmmend it to anyone who already paints, but is starting with a new medium.
