The Student's Guide to Painting

This hard to find book offers beginner and advanced student alike one of the most comprehensive guides to mixing shade and colors as taught by various painting schools up until the impressionist period. It is of particular value to portrait painters but also of value to still life and landscape painters due to its careful consideration of the use of value patterns as the foundation of good art. It also contains much valuable information on color mixing and artist's materials.If you missed a traditional art school training, you may find this work a great help in learning some of the basic techniques laid down by the traditionalist masters.
