Artist’s Handbook Series
Here’s a brand new series for dedicated amateurs that will also by used and valued by professional artists. Each title in the Artist’s Handbook Series has a sturdy hardcover binding, allowing it to be taken out to the field as handily as it is used in the studio. The books’ hidden spiral bindings keep pages lying flat, so students can work freely with their art materials without having to fight with their instruction manual. Each title supplements textual instruction with more than 400 color illustrations showing paintings in various stages of completion. There is also detailed information on artists’ tools, techniques, mixing colors, creating special effects, and trouble-shooting to correct errors. All three Artist’s Handbooks show examples of works by famous artists in the respective media to help students see how each medium has been used by world-renowned masters.
Modern acrylics, which are plastic-based pigments, offer artists many of the same possibilities and effects as the more traditional gouache paints, which are opaque water-based pigments. This manual offers detailed instruction on creating paintings in both media.
“In a field crowded with art instruction series, Barron’s has released the first three volumes in its new “Artist’s Handbook” series. It is, perhaps, the best of the lot, and these first three volumes can be unequivocally recommended. … The books are surprisingly comprehensive, with clear and lively texts complemented by more than 400 illustrations in each. … There are delightful chapters on the history of each medium … The publisher has wisely chosen to house each book in sturdy hardcovers with hidden spiral bindings that keep pages lying flat. … Published at a very attractive price, this series can be purchased without hesitation.”
