Synopsis

Suitable for all artists, from beginners to accomplished improvers, Complete Art Foundation Course provides everything you need to know about drawing, watercolour and oils and acrylics. Those who have barely put brush to canvas will be gently guided through the basics, enabling them to develop their skills and build up confidence, while artists who already have some experience in drawing and painting will be inspired to venture further - to explore a more advanced techniques and more challenging subject matter, or to simply improve areas where they are rusty.
Experienced tutors and artists pass on their practical know-how, providing historical context and advising on which equipment to buy, how to care for it and the fundamentals of how to draw and paint. Students are taught how to tackle shape, light and composition, colour theory and perspective and provided with helpful tips, tricks and rescur remedies. Step-by-step projects explore popular themes - from life drawing and still life to landscape and portraiture. Aimed at giving you the technical skills necessary to produce work to be proud of, Complete Art Foundation Course is an inspirational reference source for any budding artist.
