DRAWING FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNER. Carole Massey, is an accomplished artist with many years experience of teaching and demonstrating. This book is a complete drawing course, designed to help you progress from simple techniques such as lines, circles, squares and ellipses through to capturing landscapes, figures and buildings. There are numerous simple step-by-step demonstrations as well as larger projects, and outline tracings are provided of the more complex drawings that you can transfer straight onto your paper, if you wish to use them.
