Summary |
"The 800 illustrations and dozens of hands-on lessons help you learn by doing. First, you'll see how to paint the basic geometric shapes that underlie all forms, then you will gradually progress to study such important principles as tonal values, composition, perspective, and proportion. You'll also find expert guidance and practical approaches to expressing the effects of light and shadow, texture, and more in a wide array of subjects, from a simple still life setup of apples and a kettle to rural and urban landscapes, birds and other animals, male and female nudes, portraits, and caricatures."--BOOK JACKET |
