What we have here is essentially a guide to a specific author's style with very detailed descriptions of media used, hints and techniques, also with a bit of guidance about what to look for, what avoid, and how to organise your workshop as an artist.

This book was ok to read a little complex at times, I did enjoy it though 3/5 for me.
Collection of seven Civardi books in a series, most interesting of which is Drawing Light and Shade, which dwells on the recent Western technique of chiaroscura.

It was not what I was expecting
I ordered it online and I thought it was going to be a how to
