| book description |

Published in association with The Artist magazine, this troubleshooting book for the practising artist features a series of projects showing how to rescue paintings that, for a variety of reasons, are not working satisfactorily. What do you do when a painting just isn't working? Rather than discard it, there are a number of ways in which it can be altered, corrected or improved, and this book aims to show you how. Full of practical hints, tips, studies and step-by-step demonstrations, it provides solutions to many of the most common painting problems that amateur artists encounter in their work. The book features the work of several well-known and popular artists who look at particular problems and provide practical guidance on how to rescue unsuccessful paintings, using watercolour, oils, pastels and acrylics. A wide range of subject matter is covered, including landscapes, seascapes, flowers, still life and people, and the different styles of the featured artists make for great variety and interest. The featured artists include: John Lidzey Gerald Green James Horton Ray Balkwill Olwen Tarrant David Curtis Darren Rees Jackie Simmonds Alastair Adams John Mitchell Peter Graham Hugo Grenville Barry Herniman Winston Oh Anuk Naumann
