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.
