These extraordinary works by Cecily Brown, of wrecked ships,
frantic and prone bodies, carefully illuminate the tensions between
the past and the present. Taking inspiration from Delacroix's
shipwreck paintings, as well as one of the most feted paintings in
the world; Gericault's, The Raft of the Medusa, 1818-19. In her
introduction to the book, Whitworth curator Dr Samantha Lackey
writes, 'These extraordinary works by Cecily Brown, of wrecked
ships, frantic and prone bodies, carefully illuminate the tensions
between the past and the present. Of course, these drawings also
push to the forefront of our minds the images we see every day on
our screens, of shipwrecked refugees attempting, and failing, to
make their own sea voyages.' The exhibition 'Cecily Brown:
Shipwreck Drawings' was shown at The Whitworth (University of
Manchester) from 12 November 2017 to 15 April 2018.

This beginner's guide to drawing in graphite pencil uses
step-by-step exercises to teach fundamental methods for rendering
all aspects of the natural landscape, with additional lessons on
using charcoal, colored pencil, pastel, and other media. Following
in the footsteps of author, artist, and art instructor Suzanne
Brooker's previous title The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting,
this book pairs the most universally-pursued topic for artists
(drawing) with the popular subject matter of the natural landscape.
Brooker breaks down landscapes into their various
elements--including the earth, water, air, and trees--to convey how
the fundamentals of drawing are applied to capture each aspect.
Using the graphite pencil as her baseline instrument, Brooker
provides you with step-by-step lessons that help you improve your
rendering skills and re-create the beauty of the world outdoors.
Examples from art history and contemporary masters supplement these
lessons. The end result is a drawing instruction book that provides
artists with everything they need to render landscapes no matter
their skill level.
