(3) 4-6 Snap Books: Paint It series. These useful books familiarize readers with two types of artists' paints. There's a bit of history (oil paints were first used in the 1300s), a little chemistry (watercolors contain pigments mixed with gum Arabic), information on surfaces and brushes, and much about techniques and effects. Though not overly complex, stepped projects will challenge and satisfy dedicated art students. Reading list. Review covers these Snap Books: Paint It titles: Oil Paints and Watercolors.
