"The Science of Appearances"

This Limited Edition, exclusive publication is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of one of Australia's and the world's most famous oil painters and master-artists Max Meldrum.

This re-release is a high quality, edited reprint limited edition of over 280 pages. Many new pertinent photographs and text of great interest have been added to the many first edition colour and black and white photographs. This makes this new publication a very informative and most desirable instructional manual for any practitioner, student and or lover of true art.

Meldrum's methodical painting process of: 'Approach', 'Beginning', 'Progressing', and 'Finishing' the art work, was developed so that all artists could have a definitive and formal approach to the process of 'brush to canvas'. This is laid out in easy to follow words, diagrams, and pictures interspersed with concise 'Lesson Notes', in his unique instructional book revealing the secrets of 'Tonal Painting'.
