YA?This art book is both inspiring and practical?a joy to the eye and wonderful for browsing. It provides sections on "Colours," "Open Air Painting," "Parts of the Body," "Still and Fast Life," and "Imagination." Even the subheadings are fascinating?"Substance and Weight," "Yourself in Fur," "Armpits and Violet," "Art Diaries," "Doff A Hat to Cezanne," and "Vastness." Each page is full of illustrations, italicized captions, and catchy sidebars. Many of the 1500 images are fine reproductions of familiar works, but droves of them are rendered by the witty brush and pen of Camp himself, "after" the styles of great artists?Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Bosch, Rembrandt. The captions are clever and fulsome and contain all manner of insights. Hints and suggestions abound and there is a heartening general tone: "...if we are not all artists together, at least we are all in it together."?Frances Reiher, Fairfax Public Library System, VA

Most art manuals tend toward large, impressive photos with little text. This one is packed with 1500 illustrations and an unusually rich text. Camp's style tends to personal observation, autobiographical touches, references to art history, and fresh inspiration. A teacher at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and a member of the Royal Academy of Arts, he believes in copying from masters but avoiding academic dryness. Libraries should also consider his previous, excellent work Draw: How To Master the Art (DK, 1994).
