This 1983 instructional guide, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, provides a structured curriculum for aspiring artists, covering mediums like oil, watercolor, and drawing across twelve comprehensive lessons. Edited by Ian Simpson, the former Principal of the renowned Saint Martin’s School of Art, the book translates professional art school techniques into accessible projects ranging from still life to portraiture. The item is in fairly good condition, showing some shelf wear - a tear and creasing on the top left of the dust jacket, though the internal pages and binding remain intact and legible.
