Every time Tom Lynch teaches a workshop, his students are enthralled by the charts he uses to illustrate his techniques and ideas. So many have expressed a desire to take them home, he's decided to offer them in the form of a book designed for real-time use in the studio. Now, as students paint, they'll be able to stand the book at their side and refer to the exact chart they need at a glance. Step-by-step photos and related paintings are provided to make many of the charts even more clear and valuable. It's like having Tom Lynch in the studio guiding every step of the way, showing how to achieve the looks and effects wanted.
