Vintage The Young Artist by John Mills c1968 Revised Edition Sterling Art Books

This is an expanded and updated edition of "Painting Made Easy: A Beginner's Guide". In “The Young Artist” he introduces you to the thrill of expressing yourself on canvas - with brilliant colours freely applied in a variety of interesting textures. You do not have to be a professional to intensify your perceptions and to expand your interests through art. While driving down a country road in autumn, touring a foreign country or admiring the pleasant shapes and colours of a bowl of fruit, you will never again have to experience the frustration of not being able to capture permanently what you have seen. Beginning with introductory instructions on how to train your eye to select "pictures" from the appealing sights you see each day, Mr. Mills explains the use of perspective and the treatment of shadows. He describes the materials you will need and gives specific, easy-to-follow instructions for the beginner in water colour, opaque and texture painting, oils, charcoal, pastels and pencil and ink drawing. Each method of painting or drawing is illustrated step-by-step. The author has also included reproductions of masterpieces from the past, so that you can learn from examining outstanding examples of various techniques. Chances are, you’ll be astonished to find painting even more exciting than you thought it would be.
