She also devotes a section of the book to the main types of works (still life, landscape, portrait, abstraction, nude). Finally, each chapter presents the career and work of an artist, as well as a gallery of contemporary creations.
The techniques covered are very diverse: pencil, ink, charcoal, chalk, pastel, colored pencil, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, resin, etc.
The author also details the choices of brushes, supports, and pigments that artists must make at one point or another. Finally, she provides the main rules for constructing a work (perspective, proportions, etc.).
Both a reference work, a book of inspiration and a practical guide, The Great Book of Drawing and Painting is aimed at artists, art school students, and all those passionate about illustrated and pictorial creations.
