An inspiring must-have
resource for artists
seeking new approaches to
drawing the human figure.
Throughout the history of
art, figure drawing has
been regarded as the very
foundation of an
artist's education and at
the centre of the
art-making process. In
Expressive Figure
Drawing, innovative
teacher and author, Bill
Buchman, explores the
idea that the way we
draw is a direct
expression of our
emotions, perceptions
and our sense of
ourselves and others. The
underlying approach is
based on the author's 20
plus fundamental figure
drawing exercises that
are undertaken one step
at a time so that
students and artists of
all levels are empowered
to make progress with the
figure beyond their
expectations. Throughout
the book, the author
reveals his methods for
developing proficiency
using a variety of
traditional media and the
latest art materials
available today. About
the Author Bill Buchman
is an accomplished artist
and innovative teacher.
Buchman studied life
drawing in the 1960s with
two of America's foremost
art educators: American
figurative painter
Fletcher Martin and the
Museum of Modern Art's
Education Director,
Victor D'Amico. In the
1980s Buchman worked as
an artist in Paris and in
recent years has
exhibited his art in
Denmark, Sweden and
England. His work is
represented
internationally by
Gallerihuset of
Copenhagen. His
ground-breaking DVD Art
is an Attitude: The Art
