Personally I like Quentin Blake's Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered better, but this is a really nice book. It comes with a pretty good paint brush and paint. Like the Quentin Blake book, it's like taking a class from Thacher Hurd.
Very fun!
In a quick search, it looks like this book is out of print. I find that sad because there are a lot of good exercises and painting experiences in this book.
When I finished it, I felt like I had done a PhD. thesis.

I love this book so much. Taught me everything I needed to know.

Turns out I gave up on this book 20 years ago, so now I'm finishing the exercises:

A book dear to my inner child. I found the book in the basement and did all the exercises again as an adult for some fun
