Through sustained observation and practice anyone can develop the skills and understanding essential to being able to draw. This book approaches all aspects of drawing with a strong emphasis on "seeing", and provides a comprehensive drawing course for beginners and for those with experience who want to re-examine the fundamentals. Illustrated with many suggestions for practical work, this book also offers teachers at all levels a ready-made instruction programme which progresses from basic drawing problems to the development of personal style. This expanded edition includes a new chapter on drawing techniques and approaches, and essays on the importance of drawing in the work of five working artists: a painter, a sculptor, an illustrator, a glass engraver and an embroidery artist.
