Use of tone is clearly described, along with the basics of composition, and the selective use of colour in drawing. The book then goes on to explain how different techniques can be used to expolore and portray subjects such as figures, portraits, animals, flowers, landscapes sea scenes, buildings, street scenes and industrial architecture. The variety of approaches that can be taken to each subject is emphasized throughout and each technique is accompanied by practice exercises to encourage the student to experiment with their materials. Drawing & Sketching gives beginners the information they need to get started in this most spontaneous and satisfying of art forms, and will give more experienced artists ideas for developing their work and taking it in new directions.
