Edited by Hazel Harrison The latest in the popular "Bible" series is a series of tutorials designed to get you drawing and painting landscapes. This is more a book on drawing than painting, and the first chapter introduces you to the world of making your mark, whether with crayons, pastels, pencils, brush and wash or felt tip pens. Discover how your camera is a useful tool, gaze at a gallery showing what it looks like when it is done by professionals and then get down to learning the basics. Tutorials include perspective, composition, painting skies, trees and urban landscapes to name a few. In grand Search Press tradition this is a sensible, user-friendly primer to use, blessed with a spiral back which opens out flat for ease of use. I was impressed by the way it starts by looking at a photograph, showing how to make a drawing of it with a squared grid and then concentrating on the theme of the tutorial, the text sounding in my head like a teacher taking the sort of lesson you can actually learn from. I wish I had had a book like this when I started drawing - a worthy addition to a fine series. If you cannot find a good range of jewelry making materials locally try SearchPress.com for a list of suppliers. |
