  This is a practical workbook and reference manual for painters of all standards. The book is designed to act as a home tutor kit to teach the basic principles of picture-making through easy-to-follow projects that show how to apply these principles creatively in your own paintings. The course is divided into three main sections: foundation course, themes and styles and media and methods. The first section is composed of 11 project-based lessons to master the basic painting skills with projects and self-assessment critiques. The second section contains 12 lessons which explore the main approaches to painting, each featuring a key work by an old or modern master while the last section includes step-by-step demonstrations of the main techniques in all the different painting media.
