A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

From his early youth John Ruskin drew obsessively, a discipline that he not only kept up right through the production of his great literary works, but which was essential to them. This book is the result of quite considerable teaching experience - Ruskin had been giving informal lessons by letter to friends for some time, for he could never resist giving advice; and he also taught more formal classes at the Working Men's college, a duty he shared with Rossetti. It was as a sort of distillation of all this experience that The Elements of Drawing was born; and also from his development as a draughtsman.

Revue de presse

'Contains new illustrations and interesting notes and explanations to help students through the process of drawing. This classic retains its relevance some 150 years after its first appearance and should be on every artist's bookshelf.' Leisure Painter (June 2007) 'The book is an absolute delight and proves that traditional teaching methods by a good artist and tutor should never be overlooked in our age of digital technology and instant results.' Editor, Leisure Painter (July 2007) --Leisure Painter
