Booklist Review

\rtf1\ansi\deff0In his contribution to the No Experience Required series, award-winning landscape and portrait artist Blovits schools fledgling artists in exploring drawing's basic building blocks via increasingly complex exercises, from monotone to color. Twenty-eight exercises and demonstrations using simple subjects help sketchers develop the finished products, learning as they work the concepts and techniques of values, hatching and crosshatching, hue, intensity, contouring, blending and rubbing, lifting and erasing, lighting to create the illusion of volume, and more. Novices will find especially helpful the detailed explanations of papers, pencils, crayons, charcoal types, pastels, erasers, and fixatives. Blovits even includes exercises on working from photos and using pastel on sandpaper. Complete with metric conversion chart, detailed shopping lists, numerous black-and-white and full-color illustrations, and glossary, Sketching and Drawing has great appeal. --Whitney Scott Copyright 2004 Booklist
