Foundations of Drawing is a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the history, aesthetics, methods and materials of the drawing medium. Clearly defined demonstrations provide easy access to the practice of drawing as well as the history and development of core drawing techniques.

A comprehensive guide to direct painting (characterised by bold, expressive brushwork and a painterly, atmospheric surface). It covers the history of the direct methods in both Europe and America. From there, it includes detailed step-by-step lessons and discussions on drawing structure, broken and smooth brushwork and colour development.
