       Artist's Materials is a detailed, accessible and 
       comprehensive reference to all the materials available for
       drawing and painting. The book provides a brief history of
       the materials focusing on those that have been used for 
       generations--such as oil paint and ink--and art surfaces 
       such as paper, canvas, wood and others. Each material is 
       discussed in terms of cost, suitability, and drying times.
       The book covers every medium in detail along with 
       illustrated techniques and tools: Brushes of every size, 
       shape and bristle type; pencils, graphite sticks and 
       powders, charcoal and felt pens; pens and inks for drawing
       and calligraphy; pastels: Soft, hard, oil, pencil and cont
       sticks; watercolor effects, papers and media; gouache, 
       tempera and powder paints; acrylics; liquitex acrylics and
       modeling media; oils, additives, glazing and more; mixed 
       media combinations that work. Detailed descriptions 
       explain how to get the best results and avoid problems. 
       Tips and hints from professional artists are featured 
       along with illustrations showing the materials being used.
       Examples of masterpieces by Goya, Pollock, and others
