The North Light Illustrated Book of Painting Techniques

This is full of lots of pictures and great for a student of painting. They cover everything. You will love it and use it!

I too checked this out of the library first and then went on to buy it. This book is well organized and will introduce you to various techniques that you can work up on your own or go forward and do more research on. It is the kind of reference book that will allow you the knowledge that a paticular technique is available when you otherwise might not even have known about it....This will sit right next to my How To on leaves, flowers, animals, pen....and I would recommend to others also. Every page has a creative idea that will push you onward to better creations. I am glad I bought it.

This art book is good for everyone. It covers all sorts of art problems that you might be having. Visually it is a beautiful book. I highly recommend it to artists of any level.
