Location Drawing

Más información sobre el libro

It is said that if you can't draw well you can't paint well. I am one who believes that to be true. Also, a good drawing often overshadows a lesser colored painting. I have taught drawing for 26 years at a highly recognized college illustration program and I have sketched in 56 countries. This book shows some of those drawings in a variety of approaches and several different tools. Pencil, ink, colored pencils, etc. Some of these were done on location while sitting on a bench, stair, rock wall or any spot available. And some under a roof's overhanging shelter from the drizzle of rain, others done in the comfort of my studio from rough sketches, studies or photos, or earlier sketches. There are many things to learn in order to produce quality drawings. Perception, balance, composition, value, perspective, focal points, quality of line, what to include and what to leave out, field of vision, tips for beginners, etc.
