      In his latest wide-ranging artist's manual, Jennings walks readers through a great variety of drawing and painting techniques. While there are no step-by-step projects here, there is a lot of insightful description of principles, tools, and practices. The text is bolstered by over 1,300 color photographs of finished works, sketches, works in progress, tools, media, and materials. Chapters cover drawing and painting surfaces; choosing a subject, color, and composition; setting up a workspace; and the discipline of a routine creative practice. VERDICT This newly updated manual will have broad appeal to beginning and intermediate artists, and can even help experienced professionals hone their craft.
