Paperback. Analyses the visual approaches and techniques of 100 great artists, and shows you how to weave some of this magic into your own drawings. Drawing Masterclass analyses some of the most fascinating drawings by some of the best artists the world has ever known: the way they were made, what they do well (or badly) and how and what we can learn from them. The book is organized into chapters covering seven important genres: nudes, figures, landscapes, still life and studies, heads, fantasy and abstraction. Each chapter selects a cross section of artists and examines their practice in detail, using key drawings to serve as perfect examples of a particular quality in drawing. Light and shade, rhythm, form, space, contour and composition are all covered in detail. Each artist is described through one of their masterpieces, plus a biographical profile and a practical look at the way the drawing was made: the materials and technique, as well as an examination of the ideas and inspiration behind its making and how the artist's life might reflect their concerns. The book covers a broad historical and geographic sweep, and includes many of the most celebrated male and female artists. Their artworks are shown not as styles to be copied blindly or as the magical work of untouchable gods, but as real objects that were made by human beings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
