Description

A lot more than just every other guide to artists’ materials, The Painter’s Handbook is an amazingly useful resource, with information on the whole thing from the canvas up: the canvas itself, plus paper, sizes and grounds, pigments and binders, solvents and thinners, varnishes and preservatives. Dozens of step by step recipes for make-it-yourself paints, pastels, varnishes, gessoes, sizes, supports, and equipment take this indispensable guide way beyond the competition. Authoritatively written by Mark David Gottsegen, chair of the government’s ASTM committee on artist’s materials, the revised Painter’s Handbook considers the enormous changes within the art-materials world because the first edition was once published in 1993. New materials, new health issues, new information on outmoded or even harmful supplies and practices mean that each painter needs a copy of The Painter’s Handbook.
