Charles Evans studied at Lincoln Art College and has since developed a career in art, painting and teaching. Appearing regularly for ITV regional programmes, painting out on location, gave him plenty of practice in working under all conditions. Today, Charlie lives in Northumberland, England and travels the country, and abroad, taking his no-nonsense approach to painting to hundreds of amateur artists.
This book begins with an explanation of basic brushstrokes, exercises in simple shapes and hints on working from photographs, moving quickly on to trees, figures, animals and boats.
The book is based around a series of 12 pre-printed outlines that provide the basis for complete demonstrations, practising composition, perspective, glazing and texture along the way.
