No Experience Required Sketching and Drawing: An Easy Guide to Drawing for Beginners - Softcover

9781581805055: No Experience Required Sketching and Drawing: An Easy Guide to Drawing for Beginners

Synopsis

North Light's newest beginner series proves that anyone with an interest in art can draw or paint - no experience required! Combining North Light touchstones - reliable step-by-step instructions and plentiful illustrations - with a touch of humor, No Experience Required cuts to the core, focusing on simple subjects, simple compositions and a realistic style that builds confidence in beginning artists. Most importantly, they'll have fun doing it: An open, accessible design and occasional encouraging cartoons ensure that No Experience is a good experience. No Experience Required: Sketching and Drawing opens up the artistic experience to everyone, no matter what age or level. Readers will discover drawing's building blocks and then explore basic techniques through Blovits' illustrated exercises. Exercises begin with pencil and charcoal, the simplest mediums, and then introduce the properties of colour with conte crayon and pastel; Each illustration reinforces the techniques, while 28 exercises and demonstrations take artists from first stroke to finished drawing; Materials lists spell out exactly what artists need; A glossary of basic art terms quickly brings beginners up to speed; And, as part of the No Experience Required series, the book's Quick Tip and Words to Know sidebars make the instruction unintimidating.
