The wonderful thing about drawing buildings is that, wherever you
travel around the globe, you will never be short of subjects to
inspire you. From the most elaborate of Renaissance cathedrals,
through to the humble garden shed, you will always be able to
practise your skills and learn a few techniques in the process.
This hands-on and inspirational book will encourage you to meet the
exciting challenges of drawing and painting buildings using a
variety of media and a wide range of techniques, including pencil,
pen, graphite powder, watercolour, water-soluble pencils and Indian
ink. As you work through this book, you will look at materials and
their qualities then move on to explore how to put these materials
to best use when drawing specific types of building. You will be
led gently through levels of learning, with easy and more
challenging exercises progressing your knowledge and developing
your skills. As the book is divided into discrete sections, you can
dip in to a particular type of building that you wish to draw, and
use the information and illustration provided, while extended
teaching exercises take you through the way the author approaches
composing and completing a drawing. Fully annotated paintings,
working drawings and extended projects reveal how each effect was
achieved. Detailed artworks in a range of styles and media are
thoroughly annotated to demonstrate key techniques and important
details and there are invaluable exercises for understanding
perspective, negative and positive space, tone, choosing details
and constructing large-scale images. The book includes thorough
studies of a wide range of different architectural styles, from
town houses to rural cottages and barns, from churches and
classical architecture to continental cafes and street scenes.
Taylor's exquisite drawings and paintings demonstrate the quality
of the results that can be achieved by following his helpful
guidance and advice.

Artists use sketchbooks for a myriad of purposes - to capture a
moment, to develop an idea, to record a scene... This book advises

their use. With practical examples throughout, it is a beautiful
and valuable guide that will inspire you to pick up a pencil or
brush, mark the page and start your own visual diary. Topics
covered include looking at different types of sketchbooks - their
size, theme and purpose; ideas for drawing and painting in a
sketchbook inside, outside or while travelling and advice on
professional sketchbooks and scrapbooks.
TREATISE LEONARDO DA VINCI. Originally published in 1877. PREFACE:
Vll ono was Issued by Messrs. Nichols and Son, to which was added a
Life of Leonardo by Mr. John William Brown. This gentleman had the
privilege of constant admittance not only to the private library of
his Imperial and Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany, but also
to his most rare and valuable collection of Manuscripts in the
Palazzo Pitti, where ho was permitted to copy from the original
docttments and correspondence whatever he con ceived useful to Ms
subject. He was enabled to produce what was then the most
trustworthy Life of Leonardo that had over appeared. Since that
time many new biographies of Leonardo have been written, of which
ono of the most important is that by Signor Gustavo TIzielli. The
1835 edition of the Treatise on Painting has long been scarce, It
is now reprinted, and the more recent facts which have boon
discovered concerning the life of Leonardo, and a full account of
Ms manuscripts and his acknowledged paintings have been added.
Nicholas Poussins drawings and Albertis designs are reproduced, and
great pains have boon taken to make Leonardos work as useful as
possible to students of Art. John Francis Bigaud, the translator of
the Trattato della Pittura, was born of French parents at Turin, in
1742. His father, who was a merchant, intended his son to follow Ms
profession but young Bigaud evinced so strong a talent for
painting, that he was allowed to follow his own desires. After he
had received good instruction in art from Choralier Beaumont,
principal painter to the King of Sardinia, Bigaud travelled much,
in Italy, and stayed more especially in Homo, Parma, and in
Bologna, where, in 1760, ho was elected a member of tho Olomontino
Academy. In 1772, Ragatid loft Italy and wont to Pann, where he
remained but a short time Ho then camo to England, and gained much
praise for IUH picture of Hercules. In the November of tho year of
his arrival ho was elected an Associate of tho Royal Academy, and
In 1784 he became a full mombor. With tho exception of a journey on
the Continent, I igaud spent tho rest of his life in England. Ho
died in 181,0, at Packing-ton, irt Warwickshire, the seat of tho
Karl of Aylosford, his obiof patron. In tho parish church at
Pacldngton is an alte r-pi0e painted by Itigaud for tho Karl of
Aylosford - no to worthy from, the circumstance that it m mipponod
to bo tho first work executed in fresco in thifli country. Among
other honours in art, Iltgaud was mado a Mem ber of th Royal
Academy of Stockholm, and Painter to the King of Sweden. Contents
