Mogilevtsev has managed to create yet another important book on art fundamentals. This textbook follows the same structure as its predecessor, while offering a complete overview on academic painting, a discipline that is built on traditional art education. The result of the author's four years of hard work is this well-illustrated book with excellent visual explanations that include tables, studies and paintings by old masters. The Fundamentals of Painting presents a classical system of teaching while illustrating each stage of work in very laconic, straight to the point text. The following four subjects of painting are covered: 1. Portrait, 2. Nude figure, 3. Portrait with Hands, 4. Copying. -- About Author: V. A.
