Find out how to use a photograph as a visual aid and how to best adapt the image: cropping, adding in or leaving out elements, altering the light and colours. The most challenging subjects are covered in this practical reference guide and all the most common media are covered including oils, watercolours, pastels, gouache, acrylic, coloured pencils and egg tempera, described in detail throughout.
Paintings by the author and other artists are used to bring the information and the teaching to life.
