This perspective drawing books reviews ...
Great drawing instructional book
With no formal instruction in drawing, I've had to learn the basics on my own and this book beautifully explains and illustrates perspective in drawing. It is great for beginners with exercises to help you grasp the concept. I would probably still be muddling around making the same mistakes without the help and guidance of this book.

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!
This book really is helping me to understand perspective. As an aspiring artist I had not a clue. I don't come from a background of having taken art classes all of my life so a lot of things did not make sense to me. My professor suggests this book from her syllabus and I have to say what a jewel it has been for me. I highly recommend this book if you are learning to draw as part of your library. |
For the serious amateur doodler
Are you a serious amateur doodler? Want to take your idle doodling to the next level? Add some perspective and dimension. Dare to leave your next doodle behind for some one to find and marvel at. (go ahead and sign it so they can find you) |
Why didn't I find this book sooner?
All of my adult life I've struggled with perspective drawing and I was determined to find a better way to teach my architecture students a method that didn't get hung up on technicalities. Using the exercises and examples provided in this book, my students' drawings skills have improved dramatically in one term. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has always wanted to learn the "mysteries" of perspective sketching. |

Drawing is the basis of making good art and perspective is the basis of good drawing. Phil Metzger presents the means for making perspectively correct drawings. Yes, it's without "pain" because the mathematics of perspective is not presented; but, to get it right the "pain" is in the practice. Where it should be. |

CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
Investigate the best use of rich color to enhance your floral paintings. Explore artistic options for composition, color and design. Get loose and creative within good design boundaries.
GETTING STARTED
Find out the essential painting supplies you'll need to get started.
MIXING CLEAN, BRIGHT COLOR EVERY TIME
The first step to mixing gorgeous color is to understand the properties of your paints. Learn the characteristics of color, then make charts to explore different color combinations. Discover how to mix grays, greens and earth tones that glow. Practice layering color by glazing and working with a limited palette.
DEVELOPING A GREAT COMPOSITION
Pull an attractive composition together using value sketches, color studies, and contour line drawing. Dramatize your work by selecting the best light for your subject. Evaluate reference photos and determine how they can be improved upon for painting. Learn how to interpret your research and exploit color for the best results.
EXERCIES TO IMPROVE YOUR ART
Explore negative painting, try to paint the background first, unite your design by making color connections, and loosen up by painting without a plan. These exercises and more will stretch your skills as an artist.
PAINTING FLOWERS STEP BY STEP
Six demonstrations present different floral subjects in a variety of situations. Each painting focuses on a specific challenge: using light and shadow; saving the background for last; creating a vignette; working on hot-pressed paper; handling the elements of a still life, including lace and crystal; and making silk or dried flowers look real and vibrant in your painting.
