Summary

Drawing still life is the one artistic discipline where every element can be controlled by the artist - composition, lighting, shape, colour and tone. This makes it a perfect subject for beginners. Surrounded by limitless subjects and objects, the budding artist can get started straightaway. The basic tools and materials required are described followed by a detailed section on basic techniques - including line and line quality, rendering tone and depicting colour as tone, using erasing as a creative process and mixing media. There is also invaluable advice on organising the subject and lighting, composition and perspective. The ten practical demonstrations cover a range of subjects, for example, fruit, flowers, stones and shells, garden tools and fabric. These are drawn in a variety of media including pencil, graphite pencil, charcoal, chalk and pen and ink. Each step-by-step demonstration is clearly illustrated with colour photographs accompanied by instructive text. A complete beginner will be amazed at what they can achieve by following the progressive series of demonstrations and learning from the tips, tricks and know-how of the experienced artist.

The essential "first book" for beginners to learn the basics An ideal book for teachers to recommend to students at adult education classes A useful reference for any artist to get ideas for subjects and composition
