Art Instruction Course, Book 1: The basics, color, and light

This is the first of three books for the artist who wants easy-to-follow, comprehensive drawing and painting instruction, based on over 1400 art instruction books. No other such book exists. I know, because I've read them all. This first of three books, a hardcover version, covers basic concepts, color, and light, with a reference of over 400 books, articles, and websites to direct the viewer to in-depth discussions of various issues. The second book will cover shapes, motion, depth, composition, perspective, and design. The third volume will include gesture drawing, landscapes, seascapes, still life, textures, shadows, and reflections. A workbook will accompany each volume, expounding on various topics, with questions and answers and comprehensive examinations of hundreds of photographs and paintings.
