Responses to the following query:
From: Joel MacKeen <jmackeen_at_ualberta.ca>
I am gathering a list of current "How to"
type publications for fine art techniques
(printing, painting etc.). Can anyone suggest
review resources that focus or have sections
on this type of resource.

From: Barbara Genco<b.genco_at_BrooklynPublicLibrary.org>
Two particular publishers have strong lists for the working artist.
The Watson-Guptill series on Artist Materials and Techniques: The Pastel
Book, The Drawing Book, The Oil Painting Book, etc. are generally well
reviewed in the art professional press & (despite their copyright dates)
continue to be requested & heavily used by our professional level fine
artists and students.
North Light also has a fairly large backlist with a goodly number of
technique books. Their list is a little heavy on how-to at 'fence art'
show/hobbyist level.

Joel,
I would recommend posing your question to ARLIS-L and/or consulting the
ARLIS/NA (Art Libraries Society of North America) homepage.

Good luck. I would be curious to know the answer to your question. Off
the top of my head I can only think of art history resources.
