Pick Up a Brush—Skip the Intimidation

Why This Guide Still Delivers

  • Multiple media, one book. Oils, tempera, watercolor, pen & ink, and more.
  • Step-by-step diagrams. See every stroke before you lift the brush.
  • Studio tips. Advice on mixing colors, choosing paper, and stretching canvas.
  • Large format.  Diagrams stay crisp and easy to follow.
