A collection of topics on composition, examples are all from Western artists, but there is some mention of Chinese art. I think there's something of interest for all representational artists, a decent read.
It's an older book, the used prices online are in the low $20s and if you are lucky, your local library might be able to get it.
This is a book i will read parts and pieces of over and over again. there's no way it can be absorbed in one go, at least not by me! I attacked it with a highlighter! Love the pages of just simple "tips"
