Synopsis

Learn to draw from the work of amazing artists such as Albert Dorne and Norman Rockwell, the founding artists of the Famous Artists School.

The artwork presented in  Drawing Lessons from the Golden Age of Illustration  is gleaned from the amazing collection of more than 5,000 artworks and hundreds of thousands of other documents found in the Norman Rockwell Museum. Organized as a series of lessons in classic drawing technique, each chapter offers both process and finished works by the founding artists and other instructors of the Famous Artists School, allowing readers to see a wide variety of approaches for learning how to draw, styles of rendering, and enlightening examples of "before and after" student work. Enriched throughout with fascinating sidebars and photographs documenting the working methods of master realists,  Drawing Lessons from the Golden Age of Illustration  is an invaluable trove of inspiration and information on how to draw.
