Painter's Handbook: Revised and Expanded

Painter's Handbook: Revised and Expanded

Much more than just another guide to artistsâ€™ materials, The Painterâ€™s Handbook is an amazingly useful resource, with information on everything 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 federal governmentâ€™s ASTM committee on artistâ€™s materials, the revised Painterâ€™s Handbook considers the enormous changes in the art-materials world since the first edition was published in 1993. New materials, new health issues, new information on outmoded and even harmful supplies and practices mean that every painter needs a copy of The Painterâ€™s Handbook.
