Strokes of Genius 2, The Best Drawing Light and Shadow edited by Rachel Rubin Wolf. Celebrate the beauty, diversity and expression of drawing with this second collection in the Strokes of Genius series-140 examples of the finest drawings being done today. Fresh from the studios and sketchpads of 100 artists, these striking creations run the gamut from highly detailed, remarkably realistic images that were months in the making, to contour drawings, journal sketches and gestures captured in mere minutes. You'll find a vast range of mediums and combinations including charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, pastel, ink and more in an exciting mix of styles and techniques. Chapters include portraits, city and landscapes, animals, the human figure and still life-with a special focus on the power of light and shadow. Filled with strokes of poetry, precision and passion, this is a memorable collection of art as well as an inspiring survey of techniques that artists use to translate impressions to paper. 144 pages, hardback art instruction book.
