Artist's Handbook of Materials & Techniques, The by Ralph Mayer |
At a price just under £30 I was very glad to have been given this book as a birthday present! But I have to say that it is the single most informative book on the subject I have encountered. Expanded and updated this the fifth edition is both lucid and packed with information, the emphasis being on chemistry and craftsmanship not the aesthetics of art. No serious artist (amateur or professional) should be without it.
