SYNOPSIS ....
•A beautifully produced practical work, that has the look of an artist's sketch and note book, featuring the artist's own reproduced handwriting, (not printed text) and original design sketches of Brian Bull (in brown, on heavy cream coloured paper), with a Foreword by John Piper. This book is a compilation of Brian Bull's wit, wisdom and working techniques, with illustrations by him.
There are insights into conception, artistic approach, planning, layout, execution and fixing, from how to create an eye in a portrait with just a few square tesserae, to how to fix a large public mosaic on a vertical wall. The art of ‘andamento', of laying the tesserae so that they flow, is beautifully described.

•At the time of this listing, the very few books that are available are priced between $300-900 elsewhere, in varying condition.
—-----------------------------
•His son, Paul, wrote a beautifully insightful and informative description of this book that I've included a couple screenshots of.
