Box, Richard:
Drawing for the Terrified David & Charles 1st 1997 4to M/F 760 gms (Order reference 10631). A lifetime of experience teaching students to draw has taught Richard Box that the chief obstacle for many is the fear of their own lack of drawing ability. For over ten years his popular course Drawing For The Terrified has taught people from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities to overcome this fear and to draw with complete confidence. This book introduces Richard Box's remarkable teaching methods to a wider audience for the first time. The basic elements of drawing are all covered: materials, equipment, learning to see the subject accurately, drawing in monochrome, tonal values, the theory of colour and shading with coloured pencils - but what makes this book exceptional is the author's unique ability to teach. Richard Box believes that everyone has it in them to draw, although in adults this ability often lies concealed. Through a series of carefully designed, progressive exercises he systematically uncovers this innate talent, building the reader's confidence all the time. To begin with, he shows how to 'see' a subject 'perceptually' rather than 'conceptually' and then demonstrates how what is seen is successfully transferred to paper. Next he covers the use of shading to achieve different tonal values within a composition. Then, with the aid of a viewfinder and his 'perceptual' method of seeing, the author shows how to construct realistic likenesses of a wide range of subjects, building each composition stage by stage so that the progress is clearly visible. Enjoyment and understanding are the key elements to Richard's approach to teaching and from the start he projects a relaxed, positive frame of mind. Highly accessible and carefully illustrated, this book will open up a whole new world of creativity to all those who have longed to draw but never before dared to put pencil to paper.

Easton,
David: Watercolour Flowers
B T Batsford 1st 1993 large 4to F+/F 800 gms (Order reference 9981). The transparent quality of water colour makes it the ideal medium for the delicate art of flower painting. By exploring many different approaches, rather than advocating a single method, David Easton encourages the artist to extend his or her range of expression to do full justice to the potential of waterbased colours. Using his own superb paintings as examples, he demonstrates that the traditional approach to watercolouroverlaying transparent colours from light to dark - is by no means the only option available. Opaque pigments, masking fluid, lifting the subject out of a washed background and the use of vibrant primary colours are all features of his work, and can be used to produce fresh and lively results. Drawing and composition are also examined in detail. Central chapters develop themes based on flower families, using a range of cultivated and wild flowers in natural and still-life contexts. A final section gives advice on framing and exhibiting finished work, with a resume of painting materials. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout, and will inspire beginners and more experienced watercolourists alike.

Wendy Jelbert explores the landscape, showing where inspiration can be found in fields, woodlands, ponds, rivers, gardens and beaches. She teaches how to select compositions from nature using a camera and sketchbook, and how to simplify the painting process.

You will discover how to capture mood and atmosphere by glazing colours, texture using pen and wash, the massed effect of leaves, the fragility of white flowers and the crispness of snow. Practical, colourful and easy to use, Painting Nature's Details covers a wide range of techniques and enables artists to develop their own original paintings.

Shaffer,
Phillip: Painting with Four Tubes of Paint
- a simplified palette for watercolorists Watson-Guptill 1st 1990 4to, v min bmps to bds, v min crsing to d/w edges o/w VG++/VG++ 855 gms (Order reference 11455). When you walk into an art-supply store and are confronted with the seemingly infinite array of watercolor pigments for sale, do you find it almost too hard to choose the "right" ones? How many different reds do you really need, after all-four, five, six? The confusion and expense can be daunting. But Painting with four Tubes of Paint offers some refreshing and remarkably simple solutions. Following the lead of the old masters, Phillip Shaffer has chosen to paint with a limited palette. Here, in a series of 22 step-by-step demonstrations in which he depicts such beautiful natural settings as Wyoming's Grand Tetons, Hawaii's tropical shores, and Indiana's peaceful farms, Shaffer explores the full and versatile range of colors that can be created from combinations of just four basic hues: burnt sienna (a red), raw sienna (a yellow), cobalt blue, and olive green. He also makes judicious use of three auxiliary hues: new gamboge (a yellow), alizarin crimson (a red), and ultramarine blue. Limiting one's materials offers the painter certain advantages. The first is cost-the colors Shaffer recommends are relatively inexpensive and can thus be bought in quantity. Second, control with a limited palette, color mixtures are less likely to get out of hand. Third, color coordination-the artist can guarantee almost perfect color coordination because he will be using at least a little bit of each of the four basic hues in just about every composition. Fourth, familiarization-because there are fewer variables, the artist can become totally conversant with the practically infinite possibilities in his limited palette. To introduce artists to his distinctive method of painting, Shaffer offers informative sections on color mixing and theory, and variations on such basic watercolor techniques as flat and graded washes, drybrush, and painting wet-in-wet. Step-by-step demonstrations focus on ways to handle specific subjects and ways to best exploit particular watercolor techniques. Shaffer also shows how to correct paintings that go awry, how to take and work from photographs, and how to select mats and frames that will show off your paintings to their best advantage. Whether you are a beginning or a seasoned artist, you will discover that experimenting with a limited palette can stretch your imagination and improve your painting skills.

Woods,
Michael: Perspective in Art B T Batsford 1st 1984 4to, sunning to top + btm edges of bds, v v min wr + chps to d/w o/w VG++/VG++ 545 gms (Order reference 6931). One of the first problems an inexperienced artist will encounter is how to translate the third dimension to a flat piece of paper, how to convey the same impression of relative positions of lines and objects as the eye perceives. The brain stores the accepted information that all the sides of a cube are equal and at right angles to each other, and only a knowledge of perspective enables us to understand what happens to the appearance of objects when they are presented to the eye. To many, the question of perspective might seem a somewhat daunting prospect, but Michael Woods shows us here that it need not be and that, once the basic rules have been mastered, it is awareness and understanding, rather than a mathematical construction of objects in perspective, that is important. In the opening chapters he builds up a simple picture to illustrate the rules of perspective - a desert landscape with a cube house; the house has a sloping roof, four windows and a door; there is a person at the window; there are hills in the background. From there, and with the help of excellent line drawings and diagrams, the author moves on to the circle, the use of shadow to delineate structure, the introduction of people and animals, landscapes and buildings, water and boats. He then discusses various uses to which perspective can be put in the practical world, such as for the design of theatre sets, and its exploitation in many famous works of art and architecture: Good art is certainly not only that which obeys the laws of perspective, as many great abstract painters have proved, but a knowledge of how it works is one of the most important lessons an artist learns. It is up to him whether he chooses to use or constructively to misuse it.
