Críticas:

'A refreshingly grounded book covering all aspects of the traditional practices of drawing and painting ... well-produced and packed full of information, this is a must for any artist's shelf' - Leisure Painter 'A brilliantly unconventional guidebook that is perfect for artists in search of something a little bit different' - Artists and Illustrators

Reseña del editor:

Bursting with practical techniques, engaging artist profiles and inspirational galleries, Drawing & Painting combines an authoritative ‘category killer’ approach with a contemporary aesthetic guaranteed to appeal to all artists. The book’s up-to-date approach is a far cry from the dry instructions and dated artwork that feature in more traditional art books. In contrast to other, largely project-orientated titles, Drawing & Painting places the emphasis on the techniques themselves, encompassing drawing, sketching and a range of painting styles. Covering everything from pen and ink to oils and acrylics, specially commissioned photography and artwork accompanies step-by-step techniques, while profiles of contemporary artists provide insight into various working methods, materials and techniques. Acknowledging the growing interest in digital tools as a medium, information is provided throughout the book on how effects can be created using Smart Pens, tablets and apps.
