Passport to Painting - Susie West

Passport to Painting by Susie West is a paperback art book from Search Press that explores retro-style travel poster art in acrylics. Centred on the bold shapes, flat colour and graphic appeal of classic poster design, it offers a practical route into creating this distinctive style for display at home or as part of a wider painting practice.

Written by Susie West, the book combines step-by-step guidance with visual inspiration, covering composition, colour selection and lettering to help achieve a polished poster finish. It also looks at key painted elements including clouds, skies, water and architecture, alongside six international projects and ideas for turning your own home town or favourite holiday location into poster-style artwork. Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike, Passport to Painting includes a short history of travel posters and is illustrated throughout with 400 colour illustrations.
