The Watercolor Painter's Solution Book 4 reviews
Angela Gair
North Light Books, 1991
One of my best books
I use all my art books when I paint and this is one of the best. Yes, I am a professional artist, in that I get paid for my art. I think that people who think they can learn to paint from just one book will never be satisfied. It takes a lifetime to perfect any art and watercolor is one of the hardest. This book, along with books by Tony Couch can be the beginning of a serious collection of ...

Trevor Chamberlain: Light and Atmosphere in Watercolour : A Personal View (Atelier Series.) 4 reviews
Trevor Chamberlain, Angela Gair
David & Charles, 1999
An enormously attractive plein-aire painter.
Trevor Chamberlain is one of the most authentic outdoor painters working today. He is a "painter's painter," and anyone who has ever picked up a brush wishes in his or her heart of hearts that Chamberlain's style could be his or her own. His books make this dream almost seem a reality.

BEAUTIFUL!
I received this book as a gift, but I have been eyeing it for a few months now. I have looked through this book a hundred times now in the few days that I've had it. It has all the information to answer all of your questions that you could EVER think to ask. With out this book I would barely know where to begin in my studies. It has information on supports and painting media covering oil painting ...

The Sketchbook Kit: An Artist's Guide to Techniques, Materials, and Projects6 reviews
Angela Gair
Chronicle Books, 2001
High Quality
My son (19) is into art and sketching. I had bought other sketchbooks but they were cheap. This one is excellent, the paper is thick, is bound very well, the charcoal and pencils are made of high quality and last a long time. Don't waste your money on other cheaper/cheezy products, this is a keeper.

Hands, Faces and Figures (Painting Solutions) 1 review
Angela Gair
Book Sales, 1991
Very disappointing
From the cover: "... all your painting questions answered and solved." Reality: NONE of my painting questions answered or solved. It's a poor book doesn't do what it claims. It offers up general topics and gives generic answers. There's no focus.
Also, at the time I bought this edition (ISBN 1-55521-720-6) the author was listed as Hazel Harrison. The author is Angela Gair and the name ...

If you are like me, and wanted to learn to draw, you would read the words on the front cover and back cover and you might think this would be a very, very good and helpful book for a beginner to buy, if he or she wanted to learn to draw. But I must tell ...

How to Draw Anything (How to Draw)2 reviews
Angela Gair
Parragon Plus, 1999
"Anyone who can hold a pencil can learn to draw."
With these encouraging words author/artist Angela Gair begins this wonderful little gem of a book for beginning artists.
The book introduces the "elements of art" in a very simple and non-overwhelming way with plenty of illustrations. She takes you by the hand and shows you a "plan of attack" for drawing a picture -- breaking the picture down into elements and layers which you add one by one.

Studio Vista, 1987
Inspiring how-to book for beginners
This book shows 17 (anonymous) painters as they build up pastel paintings. Step-by-step colour photographs show each stage and intelligent commentary directs your attention to the important aspects. Each of the paintings is in a completely different style and they include a variety of landscape, interior, figure, and still life subjects.
The paintings step out from the formulaic heavily worked ...
