Written by contemporary artist and instructor Margaret Krug with todays artist in mind, An Artists Handbook is just that, complete with demonstration photographs, taken especially for this book, showing the materials and techniques described in action. The lively text demystifies a variety of historical and contemporary techniques, from the selection of media, preliminary sketching, and the preparation of canvas to fresco, oil, tempera, encaustic, and acrylic painting. Copious color art reproductions serve as both models and inspiration; along with her general instructions, Krug adds basic exercises for the reader to encourage and emphasize the value of independent exploration of media. This is the only materials and techniques book the contemporary artist and student will ever need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525408358688,"sku":"NEW0810994011","price":62.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/715UP0cbxRL.jpg?v=1777150430","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/an-artists-handbook-materials-and-techniques-0810994011","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
