"Beginner Art Guides" instruct in the fundamentals of art, then present a series of projects for the student to master. Projects are presented in order of difficulty, and are supplemented with practical suggestions, ideas for color experiments, and techniques for creating special effects. The final page of each book presents a capsule biography of a famous artist whose work offers classic examples of the title's central subject. This volume offers advice on mixing and contrasting colors on paper or canvas to create dramatic effects, or evoke special moods and atmospheres.
