Only a thoroughly accomplished artist such as Borough Johnson-a nineteenth-century landscape and genre painter-could manage to illuminate the technique of pencil drawing in these exquisitely simple terms. Artists at every level of experience will appreciate the wealth of information he offers on everything from choosing the right tools to drawing the nude figure. With a host of helpful \"how-to\" illustrations, as well as a \"mini-gallery\" of finished compositions, this invaluable guide offers clear direction for artists who want to learn to draw-or sharpen their skills. Johnson starts with the basics, explaining how to hold a pencil for the greatest control, how to select the right paper, and how to add shading and tone for the best results. \"The range of effects is infinite,\" he affirms. Moving outdoors, he tackles landscapes, seascapes, and other scenery, demonstrating where to start your sketch and where to leave off. When drawing the nude figure, he suggests quick poses to capture body structure and balance before adding detail. Best of all, Johnson explores the importance of individuality in each artist and how each one's expression should be absolutely unique. When you see the magnificent artwork included-from stunning portraits of dancers and fishermen to splendid scenes in Venice and Pisa-you'll be inspired to master this expressive art form. | The Technique of Pencil Drawing by Borough Johnson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
