Creating a piece of art is a rewarding, challenging and very personal endeavour – the Paint & Draw Collection Volume 2 is here to take you through that journey from start to finish. Art is subjective, and many artists tend to stick to one medium. Whether you are interested in oil painting, watercolours, pencil sketching or pastel work, there’s something for you. From quick, bitesized tips to in-depth tutorials that will guide you from initial sketch to finished piece, learn how to develop your skills and produce your best work yet. You’ll be able to experiment with an unfamiliar medium thanks to the step-by-step tutorials and quick tips that cover everything from essential pencil shading techniques to getting the most out of plein air painting. Over the course of the book you’ll learn to paint portraits like van Gogh, and add final flourishes to your still-life like Cézanne. Create a floral masterpiece inspired by the 17th-century Dutch masters, perfect pet portraiture and re-create nature and urban life, with tips from Georgia Cox, Robert Brindley, David Farren and more.
