Manual Live Drawing Enrico Maddalena | Il Castello

many think they are not capable of drawing, that artists are born and that only those who are "-good"- draw well. all false. anyone can learn to draw, as long as they learn the techniques and practice, especially in live drawing. with drawing we know the world around us in a profound way and we enter into intense contact with many neglected aspects of everyday life. this book is intended as a guide for those who want to learn and for those who already know how to draw but intend to improve. it is a work that leaves nothing out: from perspective, to shadows and reflections in the water- from measurement techniques to the proportions of the face and figure, up to the expressions and muscles involved- from how to reproduce the textures of different materials to how to make metallic and transparent surfaces- from color theory to various watercolor techniques. 208 p. 17x24 cm. paperback.
