Wendy Jelbert takes the reader by the hand and shows, with very simple exercises, exactly how to paint all the separate features of a picture one by one, using a variety of different media. For example, you learn how to paint still-life, flowers and gardens, trees, seascapes and buildings in gouache, acrylics, pastels and coloured inks. So, by the end of the book you'll be able to produce a painting in mixed media to be proud of.
