Synopsis

Everything budding artists need to know to paint or draw confidently in their own style is in this essential and inspirational A-Z reference, filled with 600 full-color illustrations. From cave paintings to Picasso, technical drawings to cartoons, here is the history of these two art forms, with stunning examples of work by famous masters and practicing professionals. Experienced, respected tutors pass on their practical know-how and technical skills-illustrated in detail-including what tools and equipment to buy and the fundamentals of working in watercolor, oils, and acrylics. Beginners are gently guided through the basics of shape, light, composition, color theory, and perspective; more accomplished artists tackle advanced techniques. Includes master classes in life drawing, still life, landscape, and portraiture.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Since 2004 Paul Thomas has spent his time travelling between Australia and Europe. His work reflects this cultural diversity in drawings and paintings that explore shared mythologies and narratives. Having recently finished a series of drawings that dealt with Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, he is now working with the diverse flora and fauna of Australia. The dramatic and inventive landscape allows him the freedom to develop new projects outside of his usual context and challenges his own position as a European artist. Nick Tidnam's main passion has always remained in sketching and painting; constantly exploring new avenues and methods to create a unique body of work that has earned him international acclaim. In 2001, he was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and is a popular member of the London Sketch Club and The Savage Club. He continues to paint full time and exhibit across the UK and around the world, most recently in Delhi, India. Anita Taylor is a figurative painter, exploring identity, emotion and narrative through tableaux and interactions which are at once highly theatrical, ye intimate and symbolic. Alongside her practice as an artist, Anita Taylor has worked in art education in numerous roles, including: Director of The Centre for Drawing at the University of the Arts, London; Dean of Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts, London, and Deputy Head of School, School of Art, Media and Design at the University of Gloucestershire, where she was first awarded a Professorial title. She is currently the Director of the National Art School in Sydney, Australia. Anita also co-founded and is co-director (with Paul Thomas) of the Jerwood Drawing Prize, a prominent annual award and touring exhibition that showcases current drawing practice in the UK.
