Drawing and Painting Materials and Techniques for Contemporary Artists by Kate Wilson

My friend Kate Wilson has recently had her book published by Thames and Hudson. Click here for  a link to the book at the publisher. And click here for a link to Amazon to buy a copy

I had a good chance to look at the book a couple of months ago. I thought it was really wide ranging in its scope and engagement with contemporary art. I was surprised by the huge variety and inventiveness of current artistic practice.

I thought the book informed, accessible full of thoughtful and carefully selected illustrations. I particularly enjoyed reading the short and detailed biographies of many contemporary artists.
