The Encyclopedia of Drawing Techniques by Hazel Harrison
Detailed photographic sequences explore pencil, charcoal, pen and technical pen techniques, including shading, building up, blending, hatching, highlighting, stippling and more. Colored pencils, chalks, pastels, and pen and ink are also covered with inspirational pictures across a full range of subject matter, including landscapes, buildings, figures, animals, flowers and still life. Techniques are discussed in detail including layering, feathering, burnishing, linear marks and pointillism. The use of paint and brushes is less obvious in a book on drawing, but there are some techniques in which the brush is used to create a line, or to infill a linear shape. These techniques are discussed as well with Gallery examples shown throughout to act as inspiration for the practicing artist. Sequences on mixed media, keeping a sketchbook and digital drawing are included too, making this book an invaluable addition to any artists book shelves.Hazel Harrison is a working artist who works in a variety of media and frequently uses her own images as a source of inspiration. She attended the Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy of Painting in London to study painting. Hazel lives in a little village in the Peak District of the United Kingdom, where she paints and writes art instruction books.
