A comprehensive reference covering an extensive range of painting and drawing styles.Bursting with practical techniques,engaging artist profiles and inspirational galleries,Drawing and Painting combines an authoritative approach with a contemporary aesthetic guaranteed to appeal to all artists.The book's up-to-date approach is a far cry from the dry instructions and dated artwork that feature in more traditional art books. In contrast to other,project-orientated titles,Drawing and Painting places the emphasis on the techniques themselves,encompassing drawing,sketching and a range of painting styles.From pen and ink to oils and acrylics,specially commissioned photography and artwork accompanies step-by-step techniques,while profiles of contemporary artists provide insight into various working methods,materials and techniques.Acknowledging the growing interest in digital tools as a medium,information is provided throughout the book on how effects can be created using Smart Pens,tablets and apps.
