Through step-by-step demonstrations and tasks, it explores the process, explaining how to capture a scene or the feeling of a scene, and, essentially, how best to fix an image to the page.

The first thing to say is that it is admirably thorough - with plenty of practical work as well as explanations. It does its subject more than ample justice. -- Henry Malt - The Artist reviewer * The Artist *
