Beryl Ash and Anthony Dyson 1970 Every teacher and parent knows that children enjoy working with materials and that many find great pleasure in making patterns. This book will help teachers to develop these interests in the direction of dyeing and printing. It will encourage children to use these crafts both as purely decorative media and as a means of exploring more fully the nature of the graphic possibilities of the materials themselves.

Introducing dyeing and printing, ([Introducing series])

Beryl Ash

Dust jacket notes: "To those interested in painting portraits, the new acrylic paints have come as a welcome addition to the artist's palette. The versatility of these paints greatly increases the range of technical effects possible in portrait painting. This is actually two books in one: it is a complete examination of acrylic painting techniques, and it is also a practical book on painting portraits. The first half of the book explores the medium itself: the varied handling characteristics of the paints, and the other acrylic painting materials available - gesso, modeling paste, gloss medium, matte medium, gel, and retarders. In order for the reader to explore the working characteristics of acrylics, the author proposes a series of ten projects. In these projects, the reader can experiment by using acrylics as opaque and transparent color; by adding modeling paste; by painting transparently with gel; by using gesso, matte medium, varnish, etc. Mastering the use of these materials is essential for the reader to enjoy the full extent of the possibilities that acrylics offer. Firmly believing that there is more to painting portraits than simply understanding the medium, the author discusses what she calls 'the seven components of painting' - the basic principles that apply not only to portraits, but to any subject. First she discusses the planning components: motivation, composition, and drawing. Then she describes the four painting components: rhythm of application, found-and-lost lines, tone values, and color...."

HOGARTH, PAUL

Lessons from Reilly go for some 54 pages and center on drawing the human figure and for those wanting to break down their work analytically it offers a systematic approach. It also includes some four typical Nine-Value/ Chroma charts (which is value in itself-the single sheets alone sell for much more than the price of the book). These feature red, yellow-red, blue-green and purple-blue (four chroma steps from weakest to the "home level" of each of those hues. Those familiar with Munsell might enjoy these.
Also included is a gray value scale, as is the procedure for painting edges, the head, and facial features. An excellent resource.
This art book clearly has a methodical approach and it discusses terms in Hue, Value, and Chroma-even attributing value scales in some of the diagrams. Overall this is a pretty neat piece of work and originates from a well studied practice. by Chris
