DESCRIPTION:
A gift for my brother Thelma L James My brother, a self-taught artist, is always eager to learn new techniques to use in his paintings and drawings. He told me he was able to use quite a few of the ideas he found in the book.. No! I do not recommend this book. The author rambles on and on, but does not give instructional or technical help. Very disappointed in this book. Wish I could receive my money and shipping back.
An instructional book for intermediate and advanced students, this volume is also a valuable tool for teachers looking to master the principles of light and shade. Sixty-five black-and-white illustrations, many of them drawn by students, appear throughout the book. . He discusses the aims of students and artists and offers some general advice on technique and method before exploring the specifics of charcoal, pencil, and brush drawing. Cross begins with studies of chiaro-oscura, or light and shade, and examples of values and their tests. One of the most in-depth treatments available, it offers a wealth of details on mediums and techniques, including natural and artificial light, gradations, and more.Author Anson K
