Abstracts (How to Paint) by Humberstone, Dani. paperback edition. ISBN: 0693508005433.

Guiding aspiring artists through three projects, this tutorial uses simple approaches that make abstract paintings accessible to beginners. Assuming no prior experience, this guide begins with a comprehensive review of materials, a primer on how to get started, tips and techniques for working in a variety of media, and step-by-step photographs that make painting abstracts simple and clear. A demonstration on transforming photographs and images into unique abstract art is accompanied by a discussion of aspects of composition and the imaginative and creative skills needed to paint personal and symbolic works.
