10 step-by-step tutorials. Features advice on tools, materials and techniques. Suitable for all skill levels.
Christine Allison is a highly regarded artist specialising in drawings and paintings of birds, animals and fish. She is particularly intrigued by birds of prey and is perhaps best known for her large-scale, dramatic paintings of owls, falcons, eagles and hawks, which have led to international acclaim.
Starred review. Drawing expert and sketchbook master Allison's guide is aimed at beginners. The author explains techniques in thoughtful yet easy-to-grasp language over the course of ten step-by-step drawing exercises and several short articles on areas of special focus, such as inspiration and observation. The exercises, which resemble a cooking recipe format, walk readers through creating their own tonal or color drawings of still lifes, landscapes, city scenes, interiors, and even a self-portrait. Drawings use both life and photos as source material. There is enough advice and encouragement here to get readers of beginning artistic skill level started drawing.
