description: The inspiring lessons continue with a brand new and beautiful addition to the magnificent series on drawing skills. This fourth book—which follows Art of Drawing, Art of Drawing Landscapes, and Art of Drawing the Human Body—covers all the essential basics for capturing vibrant and expressive still lifes. Breathtaking and enlightening images fill chapters devoted to capturing variations of light and shade; depicting forms, qualities, and textures; and producing a balanced, strong composition. You’ll also learn how to realistically render materials such as metal, glass, cloth, and wood. An engaging section of step-by-step projects includes still lifes with abstract shapes; backlit flowers in pencil and India ink; a chiaroscuro of drapes; and a scene with toys, drawn in crayon.
