Spoken English for Artists

Written and illustrated by Rebecca J. White

While training in oil painting in Tokyo, Rebecca saw how much art students studying abroad needed language lessons built around their own world. Spoken English for Artists is the result: twenty full-color lessons set in studios, galleries, museums, and critiques, each pairing a real art-world situation with a grammar point. Every lesson has a companion video.

2nd edition. ISBN 978-0-578-09377-2.
