Line: Creative Painting

This volume is intended for use by advanced art students and experienced amateurs. It instructs readers in the mastery of line, with reference to several different media. The authors show various ways in which line art is employed to render still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and human forms.

Using fifteen examples, each based on a historic reference, this book demonstrates the step-by-step development of paintings and drawings, allowing students to compare different techniques and then develop those that best suit their own purposes and styles. A gallery at the end of this book provides further inspiration and additional instructive examples.

Authors — Gemma Guasch and Joseph Ascunción.
