Moving on from Fundamentals of Drawing, Barrington Barber here takes the aspiring artist a step further in the quest for greater skill and competence. As skills improve, artists develop a greater awareness that comes with a closer study of a subject, and therefore encounter more visual surprises, challenges and problems. This practical book is firmly based on traditional art-school teaching. It offers guidance in the advanced techniques that offer solutions to these challenges and encourage artists to extend their abilities to express their emotions and ideas in this visual medium.
