Anyone with a little persistence and the desire can learn to draw
well--this is the starting point of "The Fundamentals of Drawing,"
a practical and comprehensive course for students of all abilities.
Opportunities for practice and improvement are offered across a
wide spectrum of subjects--still life, plants, landscapes, animals,
figure drawing, and portraiture--and supported by the demonstration
of a broad range of skills and techniques, including perspective
and composition.
This comprehensive drawing manual is an invaluable guide for
beginners, improvers, and established draftsmen. It contains
hundreds of examples as well as step-by-step examples for artists
to follow in order to build up their confidence and skills. All the
major subject areas are covered, from simple object drawing and
still life, to landscape drawing, portraiture, and figures. The
book also explores the wider challenges of drawing facing all
aspiring artists, such as how to break down visual information,
recognize form, and apply perspective. Author Barrington Barber is
a renowned authority on teaching drawing and a practicing
artist.
Each book in the 'Essential Guide to Drawing' series provides an
accessible introduction to the subject, backed up by clear
examples.
St Claire Bullock - a Professor of Philosophy, no less - in the
intervals between pondering the great questions of life, turned his
hand to penning light verse in the manner of Hilaire Belloc, Ogden
Nash and Edward Lear. In rhyming couplets these wry and witty poems
ponder the foibles and vanities of mortals. Some of these are
captured in pen and ink drawings which caricature the subject of
the poems. Each character is given an amusing name, beginning with
Master Cecil Abercorn, through Clarence Castle, Serena Huff, The
Marchioness of Mal de Mer, Major Houghton Reid and Thomas Tinkham
Tattersall to Roland Washburn White. There are 70 poems in all of
which 10 are illustrated. The illustration on the front cover
relates to Rupert Ashe: 'The greatest pride of Rupert Ashe was his
luxuriant moustache. He took great care to keep it groomed, And
even, with restraint, perfumed. He brushed it upward every day, and
it made such a grand display, that people who were not the wiser,
imagined that he was the Kaiser.'
Written by one of the world's best-selling authors of practical art
titles.
