Painting as an Interdisciplinary Form (Paperback): Alistair Payne Painting as an Interdisciplinary Form (Paperback)
Alistair Payne
R1,604 Discovery Miles 16 040 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This key text is an in-depth analysis of contemporary interdisciplinary painting. It derives from an investigation into the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and issues a challenge to the medium-specific limitations of previous formalisms. The ideas contained within re-negotiate the theorisation and realisation of painting by proposing a commonality with Bergsonian and Deleuzian motifs of the virtual. In particular, this challenging work puts forward ideas of change and the new in relation to Deleuzian becomings, presenting new methods for contemporary painting. By incorporating current architectural theories in relation to concepts of spatiality and duration, it constitutes the reterritorialisation of both painting and thinking as practices and will be of benefit to practitioners and theoreticians engaged with the visual arts.

The Technique of Pencil Drawing (Paperback): Borough Johnson The Technique of Pencil Drawing (Paperback)
Borough Johnson
R345 Discovery Miles 3 450 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Only a thoroughly accomplished artist such as Borough Johnson--a nineteenth-century landscape and genre painter--could manage to illuminate the technique of pencil drawing in these exquisitely simple terms. Artists at every level of experience will appreciate the wealth of information he offers on everything from choosing the right tools to drawing the nude figure. With a host of helpful "how-to" illustrations, as well as a "mini-gallery" of finished compositions, this invaluable guide offers clear direction for artists who want to learn to draw--or sharpen their skills.
Johnson starts with the basics, explaining how to hold a pencil for the greatest control, how to select the right paper, and how to add shading and tone for the best results. "The range of effects is infinite," he affirms. Moving outdoors, he tackles landscapes, seascapes, and other scenery, demonstrating where to start your sketch and where to leave off. When drawing the nude figure, he suggests quick poses to capture body structure and balance before adding detail. Best of all, Johnson explores the importance of individuality in each artist and how each one's expression should be absolutely unique. When you see the magnificent artwork included--from stunning portraits of dancers and fishermen to splendid scenes in Venice and Pisa--you'll be inspired to master this expressive art form.

Learning How to Scrimshaw (Paperback): Ron Newton Learning How to Scrimshaw (Paperback)
Ron Newton
R301 Discovery Miles 3 010 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The title of this book could be, "You don't have to draw to scrimshaw." I say this because I believe that almost anyone regardless their artistic talent can produce perfectly beautiful works of scrimshaw. The book started out as a series of handouts developed from procedures and exercises that i discovered while practicing and teaching scrimshaw. Another discovery I made while teaching was that not all students start with the same skills and talents and need different types of help. If the reader, regardless there level, will practice the exercises and follow the procedures in this book I believe they will find themselves producing some very beautiful works of scrimshaw. I have seen this happen repeatedly in class after class and have faith that, you, the reader can do the same thing. The author hopes that in some small why this book will bring more interest to this art form. The whales may be endangered but lets not let their memory or scrimshaw die.

Advanced Pinstripe Art presents the work of 12 well-known pinstripe artists. Each chapter presents a start-to-finish project done by one artist. These photo sequences take the viewer from the initial sketch to the finished design. Text explains the why of good pinstriping. Why use a particular brush, a certain paint, an unusual method.
