Anyone Can Draw

• Barrington Barber takes as his starting point the belief that anyone – whatever their experience – can learn to draw well. Starting with an introduction to different drawing materials and mark making, he goes on to show people can use line, tone and proportion to create convincing, realistic drawings.

• Chapters include: Marks and Materials, Line Drawing, Tonal Drawing, Observation, Proportion and Perspective, Composing Pictures and Useful Practices.

• Exercises are set out in easy steps so the drawing process is clear for all to follow.

• As well as straightforward observation and drawing, methods such as copying, tracing and measuring are explained, as well as how to use photographs as the basis of a drawing.

Barrington Barber is a renowned author in the field of teaching drawing skills and a practicing artist.
