Painter's Handbook, The by M Gottsegen
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.
Mark David Gottsegen is the author of The Painter's Handbook (ISBN 0-8230-3003-2), which has sold over 17,000 copies. Gottsegen is professor of art at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. As Chairman of the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Subcommittee on Artists' Paints and Related Materials, he helped develop ASTM standards for the performance, quality, and health labelling of artist's paints.
