must have for beginner painter

I highly recommend this painting book. This book is great for beginners with everything you need to know about the supplies you will need to begin painting in any medium.This book briefly covers color theory. The author also shared a trick to control weather your color is vibrant or dull when you are mixing. They didn’t just suggest adding the compliment after you mix the color. They explain how you choose the correct two colors to achieve this result. If you need more information on color theory I highly recommend another book in this series, “Artist Toolbox-Color and its Uses in Art”.The book ends with step by step painting demonstrations. Two landscapes are done in watercolor, one acrylic example, two oil, and one mixed media.This book is excellent for the beginner and as an intermediate painter, I found a lot of useful new information as well.I received this galley from NetGalley.

Painting basics for complete beginners

"Painting Tools & Materials" is a very basic, beginner's art instruction book about painting. They covered the basics about using watercolors, acrylics, and oil and explained which media work well together for mixed media. They talked about the types of brushes and how they're used, supports, mediums, easels and other work surfaces, lighting, storage, and safety issues. They covered color theory, color mixing, and various painting techniques including those specific to a certain type of paint (like watercolor). They provided good pictures of the various materials and techniques.At the end, they provided six step-by-step demonstrations (2 watercolor, 1 acrylic, 2 oil, 1 mixed media) that used the various techniques discussed in the book. While most art instruction books cover tools and materials, they usually do so quickly and often assume you understand more about the materials and techniques than complete beginners really do. This book goes in depth into these basics so that you can better understand art instruction books and know what tools and materials you actual need for the painting you want to do.I received a free ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
