Name of book:  Bringing Textures to Life

Review: Written in 1993 by the artist Joseph Sheppard, there are 50 pages of detailed step by step painted illustrations with a variety of subject matter from sea shells, antique dolls, flowers, vegetables, over 106 subjects to explore.  Sheppard has ten paintings he has dissected through this book writing each step in very easily terminology.  The paintings are large in content and have enough variety for whatever subject the artist is interested in.  Mr. Sheppard studied with Jacques Maroger, the former technical director of the Louvre, and now lives in Italy where he owns an art studio.
