This comprehensive drawing manual is an invaluable guide for
beginners, improvers, and established draftsmen. It contains
hundreds of examples as well as step-by-step examples for artists
to follow in order to build up their confidence and skills. All the
major subject areas are covered, from simple object drawing and
still life, to landscape drawing, portraiture, and figures. The
book also explores the wider challenges of drawing facing all
aspiring artists, such as how to break down visual information,
recognize form, and apply perspective. Author Barrington Barber is
a renowned authority on teaching drawing and a practicing
artist.
The ultimate guide to nature drawing and journaling! A potent
combination of art, science, and boundless enthusiasm, this art
instruction book from John Muir Laws (author of The Laws Guide to
Drawing Birds) is a how-to guide for becoming a better artist and a
more attentive naturalist. In straightforward text complemented by
step-by-step illustrations, dozens of exercises lead the hand and
mind through creating accurate reproductions of plants and animals
as well as landscapes, skies, and more. Laws provides clear,
practical advice for every step of the process for artists at every
level, from the basics of choosing supplies to advanced techniques.
While the book's advice will improve the skills of already
accomplished artists, the emphasis on seeing, learning, and feeling
will make this book valuable-even revelatory-to anyone interested
in the natural world, no matter how rudimentary their artistic
abilities.
Make magnificent creations with paint without a brush! You'll be
amazed with these quick and easy projects for cards, wearables,
frames, and boxes to suit every taste.
