James Willis is an established artist, scholar and tutor who specializes in painting buildings. As well as lecturing in art history, he has taught at Sir John Soane's Museum and the Bartlett School of Architecture, London, and takes live and online tutorials, workshops and foreign painting trips.

This is a book that takes its readers as well as its subject seriously and, although there is the obligatory chapter on materials and equipment, it is by no means over-long and you’re quickly into the meat of painting, which is what you want. There’s nothing wrong in assuming that your readers have a level of competence gained from classes, experience or other books and then simply concentrating on the subject in hand, which James does with admirable thoroughness.
