Tom Robb, First Steps in Paint (New York: Universe, 1991). Oblong hardcover in glossy pictorial boards. A delightful, fully illustrated introduction to painting techniques for children and beginners, featuring bright step-by-step watercolor projects. Robb's cheerful illustrations including birds, fish, cows, flowers, boats, and snails, demonstrate how simple shapes evolve into complete pictures using color layering, brush control, and 'wet-on-wet' blending. Designed 'for all ages, especially age 5 and upwards,' it turns basic art concepts into approachable lessons through playful visual sequences. Printed in Germany on coated stock. Condition: Near fine with minimal handling wear to boards, clean and unmarked interior, binding firm. A vibrant early-?90s instructional art book emphasizing creativity over precision, and still a charming resource for educators and aspiring artists. Tom Robb is a British illustrator and art instructor known for his accessible art guides for children. His First Steps series including First Steps in Paint and First Steps in Drawing encouraged creative confidence through simple, shape-based instruction. Robb's friendly, color-rich designs reflect his background in children?s media and visual education, promoting art as an enjoyable, skill-building activity for all ages.…
