Review:
Part of the Complete Photo Guide series, this book sets out to be the ultimate reference for artistic painting. It explores all media so that you can experiment with different paints. The different techniques are photographed in step by step guides. As well as the tips, there's also a gallery for more inspiration. Very useful for the beginner or those who are not familiar with all the different painting media.
