About this item
Gorgeously illustrated and practical, this guide to the art of drawing employs a close analysis of great works to reveal techniques and lessons that will help practitioners at every level. The art of drawing is an essential skill for any artist. This beautifully produced book uses 100 great works on paper as its lessons. Each spread features a reproduction of one work, and offers invaluable lessons about the approaches and techniques the artist used. Organized into chapters on nudes, figures, landscapes, still life, heads, fantasy, and abstraction, the book breaks down the featured works in different ways. For instance it explores how differences in tone and shadow bring life to a standing figure and how many different weights of line can be achieved with one crayon.

He spent several years studying and working in Spain and New York and a prolonged period living and working in Italy. Although his primary influences have been artists who have worked directly from life, Manet, Matisse, Giacometti and Soutine, each period has had different artists who have influenced him. Noble's first solo exhibition was held at the Jablonski Gallery London in 1986 and has since regularly exhibited internationally. Since 2007 Noble has been a part-time tutor at Central St Martin's School of Art.Check out the video here just to the right ...nice review here https://www.parkablogs.com/content/book-review-drawing-masterclass-100-creative-techniques-of-great-artists
