Very Good Condition – Minor cover, corner and edge wear.
Barrington Barber presents an encouraging introduction to painting for complete beginners and developing artists. Step-by-step demonstrations explain essential drawing, composition, perspective and colour-mixing skills before guiding readers through watercolour, acrylic and oil techniques. A varied selection of subjects, including landscapes, buildings, still life and portraits, shows how to observe carefully and build a picture from initial sketch to finished work. With practical exercises and approachable advice throughout, the book helps remove the mystery from art materials and gives readers the confidence to develop their own style.
