This review is from: How to Paint: A Complete Step-By-Step Guide for Beginners Covering Watercolours, Acrylics and Oils (Paperback)
This is a clearly written, beautifully illustrated book which is ideal for someone just starting out with painting or who is interested in exploring a different medium. The exercises are useful and the materials lists are comprehensive. A must for the painter's library.
