'Art School' explores three different media - watercolour, oils and acrylics - highlighting their characteristics and special effects, using step-by-step instructions and illustrations to show how to get the best out of them. See how to experiment with each medium for a preferred option, or work through them all and see how the acquired skills bring rich dividends. More advanced painters can use Art School for a wealth of new ideas. The book explores the range of effects through individual approaches as well as offering practical advice about materials.
