HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Sketching from Square One... to Trafalgar Square
Sitting in our RV in Tofino. Two days of pouring rain. No painting done.
But it gave me a chance to read a new book recommended, if I remember correctly, by the blog of Kathleen Dunphy.
I have many books on drawing, many of them good and recommended by others, but this one has moved to the top of my list as a book on the basics of drawing - particularly for painters. It focuses on the foundation skills: composition, drawing (measuring, proportions, perspective), value and edges. Its how to use drawing effectively for planning your paintings.
The book can be purchased from Amazon, but nice to order it directly from the author : www.sketchingfromsquareone.com
