{"product_id":"books-painter-s-handbook-the-by-m-gottsegen","title":"Painter's Handbook, The","description":"Much more than just another guide to artists materials, The Painter s Handbook is an amazingly useful resource, with information on everything from the canvas up: the canvas itself, plus paper, sizes and grounds, pigments and binders, solvents and thinners, varnishes and preservatives. Dozens of step-by-step recipes for make-it-yourself paints, pastels, varnishes, gessoes, sizes, supports, and equipment take this indispensable guide way beyond the competition. Authoritatively written by Mark David Gottsegen, chair of the federal government s ASTM committee on artist s materials, the revised Painter s Handbook considers the enormous changes in the art-materials world since the first edition was published in 1993. New materials, new health issues, new information on outmoded and even harmful supplies and practices mean that every painter needs a copy of The Painter s Handbook.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671136952593,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780823034963.jpg?v=1781514895","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-painter-s-handbook-the-by-m-gottsegen","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
