"Painting Solutions: Houses and Buildings" starts by outlining the basic rules of perspective and proportion. The book contains all the practical advice needed, with text supported by explanatory drawings, diagrams and finished paintings. The book demonstrates how to make pictures work in terms of colour, composition and technique, while special features focus on useful technical hints and tricks of the trade. The painter learns, for instance, which techniques are best suited to rendering specific textures, how to plot tone, how to use photographic reference to best effect and, when it comes to interiors, how to exploit artificial light and how to tackle the view through a window. By pinpointing the problems that deter many amateur artists from tackling this highly attractive subject area and showing how to solve them, this book will prove invaluable for the complete beginner and the experienced artist moving into a new subject area.
