- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very interesting, well laid out book, covering all you need to know about starting to paint.
The section dealing with paint, paper etc is comprehensive in that it advises you what is best for what you want to achieve.
Then goes on to advise how to sketch subjects, pose figures.
Finally what settings and lightings are favourable to complete the picture.
This book is ideal for beginners to embark on a very satisfying hobby.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.1 person found this helpful
