Pocket Art Guides: Drawing for Painters

Rendering form convincingly is one of the harder skills to master in colour work, and this guide focuses on exactly that. Exercises work through basic geometric shapes, such as cubes and cylinders, using oils, watercolours, acrylics, inks, pastels and coloured pencils, with practice in outlining shapes using paint and brush, ink or chalks. Part of Barron's Pocket Art Guides series, it offers practical instruction for art students and devoted amateurs looking to strengthen their grasp of shape and form.
