For example, you learn how to paint a tree in three easy stages, then a cloudy sky and finally how to paint a simple foreground, so that in the end you can paint a complete landscape. With simple exercises, Alwyn Crawshaw takes the reader by the hand and explains exactly how to paint all the separate features of a picture, one-by-one.
