This book and double DVD set from best-selling author and teacher, Trudy Friend will help you master the basic skills, develop your style and expand your creativity - it really is the ultimate guide to core drawing and painting techniques.
In the book Trudy shows you how eight simple pencil and brush strokes can form the basis of all of your work, to represent the texture, tone and form of any subject you choose. She teaches you how to successfully observe your subject, plan your composition and correct mistakes at a glance with the unique 'problem-and-solution' approach.
Learn to experiment with a wide range of media, including pencil, charcoal, watercolour,
pastel, gouache and acrylic as you complete an array of practical case studies including; a timber cladded barn, a derelict boat, a garden scene, a teddy with a boot and many many more.
In part one of the double DVD, Trudy demonstrates the basic 8 stroke applications in both watercolour and pencil on disc one. In part two she continues to help you develop your technique as you complete two wonderful demonstrations.
