Barron's Art Handbooks are pocket-size reference sources and instruction guides for professional and amateur artists, as well as for art instructors. They divide into color-coded groups according to general topics. Green Series handbooks focus on the uses of art tools and ways to get the most out of them to create highly finished artworks. This title, Illustration Techniques, instructs on methods for both color and black-and-white illustration, in both wet and dry media.
