Why read it?
1 author picked A Closer Look as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
British illustrator Patrick Woodroffe was an eclectic virtuoso, working with equal facility in oils, acrylic, pencil, pen and ink, silverpoint, and a unique technique of his own involving cutout drawings photographed in natural settings. Like McMullanâs, this book gives you a practical look inside one artistâs creative process. One remark of Woodroffeâs helped set me free artistically: âI donât think strict accuracy is important, for if art is to offer us anything at all that is not to be found âout thereâ or in photographs, then it can only come from those fortunate instances when the artist sees something notâŚ
From David's list on making you a better artist.
