INFORMATION

Description

ADVANCE

Quick & Lively| Urban Sketching

Divided into seven lessons: tools, colour, composition, bringing a sketch to life, urban life, landscapes and human subjects - each contains learning objectives and tips to hone technique. Decide how strong or detailed to make linework; when to use pencil or ink; how much colour to use, and where; how to successfully compose an image and use perspective to bring it to life; how to use contrast; how to incorporate detail.

In a time when most people have a camera to hand at all times, the question of why we sketch is ever more relevant. A sketch cannot capture a scene with perfect accuracy - instead, it is about something more. We sketch to capture an impression, record a feeling, create a personal interpretation; sketching is an act of personal expression

Key Selling Points Written by architect and art teacher Klaus Meier-Pauken, this practical guide teaches you how to bring life and expression to your urban sketches| Packed with creative exercises to get you thinking, theory to build up your knowledge base, and an|extensive collection of inspirational work Discover your own sketching style or build on your previous experience

About The Author Klaus Meier-Pauken was born in 1952. He studied architecture and worked as an architect and urban planner from 1983 until 1992. He has worked at Cologne University of Applied Sciences since 1992, and also teaches perspective and freehand drawing at the FFI in Cologne. His works have been shown in multiple exhibitions.

Collecting insects, and displaying them, has long been the delight of natural history enthusiasts. In the 19th century, collecting butterflies and moths as serried rows in specimen boxes, or as decorative patterns in framed pictures, was a popular pursuit. Faithful to the tradition of these collectors, the Moth and Butterfly Specimen Box in this book is the third in Jane's series of stumpwork insect boxes, preceded by those in Stumpwork Dragonflies (2000), and The Stumpwork, Goldwork and Surface Embroidery Beetle Collection (2004). Lavishly illustrated in colour, with detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by explanatory diagrams, this book will be a valued addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in textured and dimensional embroidery.

LEIGHTON NOYES

Description

Key Selling Points - Appeals to crafters who are looking for something other than cute or pretty or mindful - Conveniently portable in size - A perfect Halloween gift

About The Author

I N FO R M A TI O N

If all those mindfulness adult colouring books make you want to scream, then fight back and take up your pencils for some anger management with Twisted Colouring. Like previous titles Twisted Stitches and Twisted Cakes, this amusing adult colouring book helps crafters to release their tensions by embracing the dark side. The intricate designs include popular horror themes like a Day of the Dead skull, a CSI crime scene, a zombie bride, vampires and werewolves. You'll find wicked images with a humorous twist, such as a repeating pattern of Headless Chickens that's a perfect outlet at the end of a bad day. And fun ideas in illustrations like "Where's Wall-eye Rat at the Mouse Party" introduce a puzzle element to some of the pictures.

Leighton Noyes is an artist and children’s book illustrator|with a warped sense of humor. As well as illustrating more|than 70 books since 2000 for a wide range of publishers,|including Scholastic, Collins, and Random House, he has|produced cartoons for a Dr Who magazine.

Leighton studied illustration at (KIAD) Maidstone, followed|by a BA (Hons) Degree at Camberwell College of Art and a|book illustration course at Chelsea College of Art.|www.leightonnoyes.com
