One hugely important aspect of an artist's skill is their
facility with various techniques, which they use to express their
individual style. Being fluent in a wide range of techniques gives the
artist a richer creative vocabulary. Choice of technique is largely
governed by choice of media, so the artist must know which medium will
give the best result and how to use it. This book will help artists to
expand their understanding of the wide range of available media. It will
teach them the characteristics of each medium and how to use a variety
of materials and methods to achieve the required effect.
