Martín Roig argues that anyone can learn to paint but must first master essentials like learning how to observe, practicing techniques, and understanding how to interpret the subject. Ultimately, one develops a distinctive, personal style. The book begins with drawing, the basic foundation of all that follows, and then progresses to traditional monochrome and color media. Hundreds of illustrations show works in progress as well as finished drawings and paintings, including works by well-known international artists. A superb compendium for beginning artists and serious amateurs.
