Customer Reviews

I liked learning the history of painting, and the stickers.

Paint and Painting, is good because there is a lot to do in it. You can pop things up, put in stickers and learn about the different stages of painting. The section on Giotto, and how he prepared frescos for the Scrovegni Chapel, is amazing. I have an old edition. Be sure to buy it when it is back in print.
