• A tantalizing variety of approaches and inspirations for applying and manipulating paint, crayons, pencils, ink, paper, photos and more.
• Quick and loose exercises for building a library of ideas, color palettes, patterns and designs to use in future paintings.
• Loads of practical advice, including how to stock your studio without going broke, the five must-haves mediums, and how to finish and protect your artwork.
