From School Library Journal
YA-- Nofer is an art teacher extraordinaire, and reading his user-friendly book is almost like attending class. He focuses on techniques: composition, drawing, selecting paper and paint, mixing paint, intellectual preparation, and salvaging mistakes. Each subject is introduced by a paragraph or two, and then reinforced by a painting of his own that illuminates the subject. He acknowledges artistic difficulties, shares possible solutions, and supplies information often missing from other art books. His illustrations explain subject matter rather than merely please the eye. An excellent book that takes readers a step beyond the basics.
