The artist's problem solver - Artist Magazine

Published in association with The Artist magazine and featuring the work of well-known artists, this practical book provides solutions to many of the most common painting problems encountered by amateur artists.

This superbly illustrated book looks at some of the most common problems that leisure painters face, and a variety of professional artists show how to tackle them in a practical and straightforward way.

The range of subjects is diverse: from landscapes and seascapes to still life, interiors, people and animals. All the painting media - watercolour, pastels, oils and acrylics - are covered, ensuring that the book offers something for every artist.

In addition, the book features a wide range of different styles of painting by top professional artists, who freely give their expert advice. Many of them are well-known HarperCollins authors, such as Jackie Simmonds, John Lidzey, Peter Partington and Richard Pikesley.
