About the Book
The practical, accessible painting and drawing guidance that made The Artist's Manual and The New Artist's Manual beloved classics now returns in a refreshed design and compact new package. With the same breadth of content as the originals, this updated version is packed with easy to follow instructions, including comprehensive information about all varieties of materials and tools, along with hundreds of critical techniques for mastering composition, color, line, tone, and more. Copiously illustrated in 1,300 color photos and examples from working artists, this new edition is the definitive guide for artists of every skill level looking to begin, develop, and perfect their skills. The Complete Artist's Manual is today's essential studio companion.



My Take on the Book
This was a totally complete book with a bit of everything as it relates to painting and drawing. From basic concepts to more detailed and advanced techniques, this book provides your budding artist with a bit of everything. At 383 pages you get an amazing amount of details with high quality images that will draw you in and allow you to explore every concept even more in depth. In each section the writing is clear and understandable and you get to easily move through from conceptualization to practical application. This book is definitely a must have for any artist and it will be one that will provide you with a complete resource that will help you to become an even stronger artist in the end.
