Perceptual drawing, in which one renders the physical world as it appears to an observer, is the focus of the third edition of this introductory skill-based perceptual drawing text rooted in Renaissance tradition who’s previous two editions have been best sellers since its release in 2001. With an emphasis on carefully sequenced skill development, Drawing from Observation 3e offers clear explanations of hands-on techniques embedded within a broad-based cultural framework thereby establishing a compelling argument for the value of perception-based drawing as an essential tool for nurturing artistic expressiveness and self-awareness. Students who complete the carefully sequenced lessons will be well prepared for more advanced work creating and manipulating representational images that convey convincing illusions of three-dimensional space.New to Drawing from Observation 3e are two innovative chapters on figure drawing that include 72 new master figure drawings, 32 new technical illustrations, and 75 new student drawings. The first new chapter (Figure in Context) surveys the history of the human figure in art from the Paleolithic era through the postmodern period. The second new chapter (Figure Drawing) applies the existing observational drawing lessons from the preceding seventeen chapters to the challenge of effectively rendering the human figure.MORE ABOUT THE BOOK:Adopted at over 250 colleges and universities throughout the United States, Australia, Singapore and South Africa, and translated into both Chinese and Portuguese Drawing from Observation 3e grew out of an understanding that there are wide-ranging sensory and intellectual benefits to be gained by drawing from observation. For much of the past six-hundred years perceptual drawing has been considered the premier course of study for developing visual sensitivity in that it not only provides developing artists with a structured series of hands-on drawing exercises that train the eye to be discriminating and the hand to be sensitive and responsive but it also provides an effective foundational vantage point from which to encounter the rationalized perceptual space that was introduced during the Renaissance by Brunelleschi, Alberti, Piero, and Leonardo. When all is said and done, it is the understanding that is derived from knowing how images make spatial meaning that is the most valuable of all artistic tools.Drawing from Observation 3e is very different from all other drawing texts that are available in the way it weaves together these two complementary approaches: one rooted in hands-on mechanics, and the other in relevant background theory and/or explanatory material.Illustrating the text throughout there are 132 master works. 426 technical illustrations, and 450 examples of outstanding student projects.

Fascinating pavement chalk art by a master of the craft, now with new art. “Beever’s mastery and unbridled humour are on full display in these dazzling drawings, each accompanied by a description that details artistic techniques, discusses challenges the artist faced, and offers an inside look into his process.” Publishers Weekly (starred review, on the previous edition). The pavement chalk artist is a master of art, perspective, creativity and performance. Julian Beever is one such extraordinary master. More than just traditional flat drawings, the works Beever creates are uniquely three-dimensional anamorphic drawings. They are drawn in perspective and distorted so the subject can be viewed properly only from one particular viewpoint. For those who are standing in the right place, his chalk drawings invite them to step right into the scene or, in the case of the artist’s well-known “Swimming Pool in the High Street”, dive right into the water. Pavement Chalk Artist includes a fabulous selection of Beever’s most intriguing anamorphic drawings. Each one is accompanied by a description of the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame. These photographs record the development of his unusual skill and understanding of perspective. Readers can see how his art progresses and matures as he takes on commissioned works and a wealth of original, inventive subjects in locations worldwide. The photographs tell the story, giving readers both an understanding of the principles of this 3-D art form and the pleasure of sharing the scenes that passersby once enjoyed before these unique works disappeared forever. This new edition includes 16 new pages of Beever’s recent art, in addition to the 16 added to the second edition, for a total of 32 new pages. Read more

This richly illustrated new book by Victor Escandell is devoted exclusively to the infinite creative possibilities of drawing and painting in black and white. Traditional and current materials, techniques and applications (Indian ink, pencil, pen, bamboo, water-soluble graphite, different types of felt-tip pens for various supports, grattage) are described clearly so that readers can experiment with what they have learned and develop their creativity with a range of materials. Each chapter deals with a specific technique and contains useful information such as methods used, types of material and illustrated examples, including interesting anecdotes about the origin of the technique, tricks of the trade and references to other classic and contemporary authors. Everything is illustrated with photographs of the final result and images of the process to make sure readers don't get lost along the way. Different black-and-white mixed techniques are also presented in a specific chapter while the last chapter examines applications beyond paper (textiles, glass, vinyl). Víctor Escandell is also comfortable working with gouache, ink, charcoal, pen and pencil. In his hands, these tools take on a new dimension while everyday products such as salt, bleach and even a hair dryer become essential companions on this adventure. With this book, the apparently simple and limited combination of black and white acquires a new level of expressiveness and drama. Read more
