Publisher Comments:

Packed with essential information, and featuring over 1000 full-color illustrations, this is the definitive guide to the tools, materials, and techniques of the artist's craft. Encompassing many exciting and significant modern processes now available to the artist, as well as a wide range of traditional skills, it offers a wealth of detailed technical information and expert guidance on every aspect of painting, drawing, printmaking, and the related visual arts.

Ray Smith presents an invaluable pictorial library of the basic skills, and provides instruction and inspiration for using more challenging creative techniques. Full-color step-by-step photographic sequences demonstrate the best way to build up simple or complex pieces of work, and there are helpful tips throughout. This revised edition shed new light on advances in many areas of the visual arts, with expanded sections on the applied arts and additional material on digital imaging, printmaking, and public art.
