Guided Lessons for Beginners and Experienced Artists
By Kathleen Lochen Staiger. This book really gives you a complete painting course you can take at home. Clear, step-by-step lessons with diagrams and illustrations build from learning about light and shadow, brush control, and color mixing—to still life painting, landscapes, and portraits.
Tips and extra help sections appear throughout the book to help with common problems. Staiger has taught oil painting for more than thirty-five years, and we know her tips will help everyone from beginning hobby painters to BFA graduates!
