Freehand * Sketching Tips and Tricks Drawn from Art


Two of my paintings are feature in a new Chronicle Books release:
My panting, "Hairdo", is used as an example for a lesson about incorporating painting and drawing.
Cover of the book. 

This is such a beautiful little (5x7") book! 
Each page features a different illustration with text/tips about the various technique used. 
It covers all of the drawing fundamentals and features dozens of gorgeous illustrations by artists such as Betsey Walton, Julia Pott, Kate Pugsley, Hollis Brown Thornton, Carine Brankowitz, Sandra Dieckmann...and so many more. 

My panting, "Remember", is used as an example for a lesson about color tinting.


Back cover of the book.

Illustrated table of contents.

I linked to Amazon but you should be able to find this "wherever books are sold." It is full of fun ideas so check it out if you are looking for a little inspiration.
