  These two titles are aimed at the complete beginner who wants to learn the basics of painting in oils and watercolour.
  The contents of both books are organised into two main chapters - Materials and Techniques and Practical Exercises . The reader will be able to start learning straight away by practicing strokes and completing mini exercises. A specially created section, The Practice Page , allows the reader to consolidate the skills learnt in the theory chapter of the book, before moving on to complete the main projects in the book.
  Each book contains 8-9 practical projects which put into action the skills learnt in the first chapter, such as strokes, shading, crosshatching and fading. Interspersed throughout are Notes on Effects which focus on the technical aspects used in the painting projects.
