1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a poor guide for beginners & no "Artist's hndbk, September 20, 1998
By billvaspainter (Shelby County, KY ; originally from Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Guide for the Experienced, November 30, 2004
By Carms (Australia) - See all my reviews
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!
