PAINTING WHAT YOU (WANT TO) SEE: “FORTY-SIX LESSONS, By Charles Reid – Hardcover
A comprehensive guide that empowers artists to paint freely, express themselves, and develop their unique style across various subjects and mediums. This is a used hardback copy in the original jacket. It’s is in very good condition given its age. There are no highlights or written notes in the text. No torn pages. The jacket is a little worn on the top corner but what you would expect from a book that’s been on a shelf for years. The only writing I found was on the inside cover where the names of the previous book owners are listed, which adds character and nostalgia rather than detracting from the book. You will be please with this first edition copy.
