From the artist behind the popular Pigeon Letters website, an easy, no-skills-necessary guide to drawing flowers, leaves, and cacti with 200 step-by-step prompts.
Line drawing is an easy-to-master art form featuring illustrative, doodle-like designs. It's used widely among artists of many types with both fine and bold lines, creating different variations. Botanical Line Drawing teaches you how to start with the simplest doodles, building into more elaborate, delicate illustrations. This book focuses on the extremely popular subject matter of the natural world and includes flowers, leaves, succulents, houseplants, trees, branches, mushrooms, and more. These simple line drawings will allow you to branch out and have fun with your own personal style, as well as inspire you to add flourishes to other projects.
Anyone who has always wanted to draw in colour pencil but finds all
those colours intimidating can breathe a sigh of relief after
opening this book. "Drawing Made Easy: Colored Pencil" shows
readers how to draw almost anything in colour pencil with ease!
After introducing readers to the tools and materials needed to get
started, award-winning artist Eileen Sorg demonstrates how to draw
flowers, still life's, animals, and a variety of other objects by
building up colour and form in simple layers. By the last page,
readers will be able to draw a horse, a bowl of fruit, a tree frog,
a puppy, and even a garden gnome with beautiful, vibrant colour.
The book also includes in-depth information on tracing and
transferring images, so aspiring artists don't even need to know
how to draw to master the art of colour pencil!
Following in the steps of Gerhard Richter's catalogue raisonne of
drawings, published 20 years ago, HENI Publishing's new monograph
devoted to Gerhard Richter's recent drawings will illustrate 80
works produced between 1999 and 2021. Drawings 1999-2021 highlights
a recent period of extraordinary creativity and inventiveness that
includes expansive series of graphite drawings on paper, vivid
watercolours and overpainted photographs of forests. Like the
accompanying exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, this
publication offers a rare chance to study the most intimate aspect
of Gerhard Richter's work.
