The Story of Painting: How art was made

I have 50 years in art , teaching and doing . I found so many facts that I didn't know. Anyone into art this is a must book.

Beautiful book. Perfect for those (like me) who cannot pass a work of art without asking themselves "how did he do that?"

An excellent book which covers so much about Art History and painting techniques with great illustrations. Highly recommend this book.

Absorbing. Connections across both the years and art genres. This book outlines how materials and media, alongside cultural and historical influences were involved in the progression of art.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my art loving mother and she has reported it to be excellent with masses of interesting into and wonderful pictures.

Really interesting and full of details as to how artists painted and the history of art.

This is a beautiful book and very informative about the colours and how painting started. Really enjoying it. The flick factor is just wow!

I love this book, great as a reference guide for painting. Quite a heavy book too. I prefer books as reference guide.
