This book just arrived at our library and we're all quite taken with it. Sized small (5x7") to fit in your coat pocket or journal bag, it's full to the bursting with nearly 200 techniques to use in your drawing and sketching. Complied by Helen Birch with contributions from dozens and dozens of artists. The table of contents includes a small thumbnail of each spread, And a great index divides sections into Principal Element, Medium,Type of Drawing and Subject. Lots of tips, techniques and eye candy. Published by Chronicle so you know you're in for a treat. I plan to delve into it more deeply when I can wrest it from my co-worker's hands!
This looks great!

Ah, more trouble for the book and drawing addicts and I thank you for it. xo
ReplyDeleteMarylinn - Yes, there is that. So many wonderful art books, so little shelf space.

I love this book. I was startled at it's petite size but it packs a creative punch. Love my Librarian and your references. xo
ReplyDeleteLisa - I think the size will turn out to be a major feature.
