Many people have a burning desire to draw or paint. Visions of painting a masterpiece in a loft in Soho or in a garret in Paris have captured the imagination of budding artists for a long time. Romantic notions of leaving everyday life behind and traveling to Tahiti to become an artist like Gaugin have crossed the mind of many Sunday painters. To help one complete that masterpiece or develop the skills necessary more quickly, is Barrons Workbooks For Paintings series. All of the books in the series are ideal teaching tools for the beginning artist. The extra-large-format books combine step-by-step instructions with the workbook concept. Each book contains 24 pages of full-color and black-and-white illustrations. Also included are eight additional sheets of blank paper bound into each book, which are suitable for student exercises. A wide array of exercises are given for watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, ink, and pencil drawing with picture captions providing exact instructions. Additional diagrams and drawings furnish further tutelage. For the beginning artist this volume of beautiful scenes encompassing hilly countrysides, covered bridges and river traffic, is a great place to start.
