In this book Tricia Guild has lifted the lid on her own 'paint box' - the colours with which she chooses to colour her world. She collates some of her favourite palettes, inspired by nature, her travels, art and architecture, fashion and everyday combinations of colours that surround us. They can all be adapted to suit your style and your home and, although many may feature pattern, every single one will work like a dream in purely plain colours.

“I would like to share with you the way I choose colours, I love to put them together in a palette, then use this in a mix of plains, pattern and texture to evoke the mood I seek in a room.
To imbue one’s home with the same expression and personality is to harness the power of colour in your own way.”

An inspirational and practical art manual, packed with step-by-step projects.

Artist Ann Blockley is renowned for her innovative approach to watercolour painting. Her highly anticipated new book provides a series of workshops demonstrating how to push the boundaries of watercolour, using key techniques to develop your own work and take your paintings to the next level.

Ann's easy-to-follow, step-by-step projects demonstrate how some of her most dramatic paintings are created. She describes in detail some of the key techniques used and how you can experiment with alternative methods to create your own interpretations. Finally, her beautiful and inspirational artworks demonstrate how different interpretations of a subject might take an unexpected or unusual direction, and how to make the most of these opportunities.

The book moves, with progressively challenging projects, from loose wildflower meadows, textured woodland and rustic rambling walls to atmospheric or semi-abstract landscape corners, all rendered in Ann’s adventurous signature style. Loose, expressive mark-making and unusual techniques include combining water-based paint and ink with granulation medium for dramatic texture, drawing with twigs, using gesso and collage to create unique effects; manipulating paint with materials such as plastic wrap (clingfilm); developing printed marks made using found materials.

Following the huge demand for more practical guidance in experimental painting, the book provides plenty of techniques and instruction. Ann’s personal commentary also gives a unique insight into the mind of the artist – ways of looking at your subject, how to explore and experiment – to unlock the potential of your watercolour painting.

Заснований на телевізійному серіалі BBC, Джон Бергер Ways of Seeing – це унікальний погляд на те, як ми сприймаємо мистецтво, опублікований як частина серії Penguin on Design у Penguin Modern Classics.

«Побачити перед словами. Дитина дивиться і впізнає, перш ніж заговорити».

«Але є й інший сенс, у якому бачення стоїть перед словами. Саме бачення визначає наше місце в навколишньому світі; ми пояснюємо цей світ словами, але слово ніколи не може скасувати той факт, що ми ним оточені. Відношення між тим, що ми бачимо, і тим, що ми знаємо, ніколи не є встановленим».

Ways of Seeing Джона Бергера — одна з найбільш стимулюючих і впливових книг про мистецтво будь-якою мовою. Вперше опублікований у 1972 році, він був заснований на телевізійному серіалі BBC, про який критик Sunday Times прокоментував: «Це відкриває очі в кількох аспектах: концентрація на тому, як ми дивимося на картини. . . він майже напевно змінить ваш погляд на фотографії». Зараз він має.

Джон Бергер (нар. 1926) — мистецтвознавець, художник і прозаїк. Народився в Хакні, Лондон.
Його роман G. (1972) отримав премію пам’яті Джеймса Тейта Блека та Букерівську премію.

Якщо вам сподобалися Ways of Seeing, вам може сподобатися книга Сьюзен Зонтаг Про фотографію, яка також доступна в Penguin Modern Classics.

«Берґер має здатність пройти крізь містифікацію професійних мистецтвознавців... він визволитель образів: і як тільки ми дозволили картинам працювати на нас безпосередньо, ми знаходимося в набагато кращому становищі, щоб зробити значущу оцінку»
Пітер Фуллер, Arts Review

«Вплив серіалу та книги... був величезним... Це відкрило для загальної уваги сфери культурологічних досліджень, які зараз є звичним явищем»
Джефф Дайер у Ways of Telling

«Один із найвпливовіших інтелектуалів сучасності»

Numerous photos and sketches of male and female figures complete this accurate guide to human anatomy. Students at all levels will appreciate its thorough coverage of every bodily region. Subjects include posture and walking, bones and joints, structure of the leg and foot, facial expressions, rules of proportion, and much more.

400 illustrations

This is a practical reference book introducing basic materials and processes for a range of traditional, non-traditional, widely used and lesser-known media. It explores the process of drawing and painting and includes the techniques of encaustic, egg tempera, fresco, oil, watercolour and acrylic. The aim of the book is to show that artistic processes are not, in themselves, difficult. Each technique is given its own chapter and students are encouraged to work through the technique from scratch, encountering the work through preparation of the wood panel or canvas, the mixing of pigments and the application of the paint. Illustrated throughout with historical and contemporary examples of works and with photographs of studio practice, each chapter is accompanied by exercises that encourage the student to explore the creative possibilities of each method.

In 1920, a well-known illustrator compiled hundreds of his preliminary studies of costumed models. He photographed them and produced two portfolios that offer a revealing look into an expert's technique. Students in need of suggestions and assistance related to figure drawing will find here exactly the sort of help they seek — the position of the body in walking and sitting, the pose of a hand and position of an arm, facial expressions of every variety, and a host of other postures and attitudes.

This new edition marks the first time Arthur Keller's Sketchbook has been made available since its original publication. Although it features no descriptive text, the energy and expressiveness of its studies will instill in art students and professionals a higher appreciation of the rendering of the draped figure. In addition to its appeal to fine art enthusiasts and seekers of art instruction, this volume will also serve as a source of inspiration for fashion designers and costumers.

This instructive book presents excellent annotated line drawings of anatomical structure for the beginning artist, explaining the subject in simple terms, identifying parts of the body and demonstrating physical activities through the author’s sketches. Chapters cover the human skeleton, head and neck, torso, arm, hand, leg, foot, and musculature. 179 black-and-white illustrations.

The fundamentals of figure drawing--anatomy and perspective — seldom receive a thorough treatment within the same book. This volume, written by an experienced teacher, covers both aspects and provides a basic understanding of how to convey the structure and functions of the human figure. Oliver discusses and illustrates the principles involved in figure drawing — including its representation by such simple forms as the cube, the cylinder, and the sphere— as well as anatomical features, from the trunk and limbs to the head and facial features

For centuries, the study of anatomy has played an important role in the education of artists. An understanding of anatomy constitutes the basis for the precise representation of human and animal forms, whether at rest or in motion. With more than 1,200 detailed illustrations by the Hungarian master artist Andr?!s Szunyoghy, Anatomy Drawing School offers an in-depth view of the anatomy of human beings and selected mammals. For the student, the volumea??s remarkably precise depiction of the skeleton and muscles will open the door to the true-to-life reproduction of the various parts of the body and their movements a?? a critical step on the road to artistic mastery. Professor Gy??rgy Feh??r provides clear and precise descriptions to accompany every illustration. Above and beyond these anatomical descriptions, his introductory texts offer a lively image of the depicted life forms. This effective combination of artistic and scientific depictions makes Anatomy Drawing School into an essential reference work for painters, graphic artists and anyone interested in anatomy.

This repackaged edition of this best-selling guide to anatomy in art that will help artists of all levels to improve their life-drawing skills.
