Topics covered: . Getting started: materials, fundamentals and mark-making . Ideas to trigger the imagination for developing personal style . A variety of images to inspire and encourage Help and advice throughout to practice new skills and gain confidence with a medium that has the potential magnificence of a 'full orchestra', yet can be slipped into the pocket.
