This book, containing a wealth of artistic information and advice as well as Rolf's very own helpful painting tips, will delight everyone who is interested in art and will inspire would-be artists everywhere.

The first series of Rolf on Art, watched by seven million people every week, was the most popular arts programme ever broadcast in this country. In his own inimitable way, Rolf brought to life the work and lives of four of the world's best-known and most innovative artists: Monet, Degas, Van Gogh and Gauguin. Now, in a new series, Rolf follows the work of Rousseau, Toulouse-Lautrec, Klimt and Rodin, exploring their methods and techniques and creating paintings, and - in the case of Rodin - sculptures, inspired by their most famous works of art. In this book, to accompany both series, we follow Rolf on his unique artistic journey as he gains a hands-on insight into the way the artists worked and makes fascinating discoveries about their varied and colourful lives.
