Summary:

This instructional book approaches the figure organically, showing readers how to observe its basic shapes and subtle nuances through practical exercises and lessons in the art of seeing with a painter's eye.

Step-by-step demonstrations in contour drawing teach how to capture the overall essence of the human form, then lessons in gesture drawing emphasize the body's linear rhythms in various poses. Painting techniques progress from silhouette to three-dimensional forms through clever uses of light, shadow, color, and value.

Excellent content to help develop approaches to figurative drawing...and keeping loose at the same time.

Comments From an Emerging Artist

Customer Rating:

This book shows how to do watercolour figure sketches in a loose free style. The eye-catching pictures help in showing how to draw people with exercises that are easy to follow and understand. For learning to draw or paint people and figures this is an excellent book. He also talks about the materials needed; colour mixing, brushwork and practical tips to get the result you are after. You may not enjoy this book if you like more detailed realistic paintings as his style is sketchy but to me this is the magic.

Wonderful Reid ...as usual	Customer Rating:
Charles Reid does his usual "bang-up" job. The pictures make you want to pick up a brush immediately. I also have one of his early books...very worn by now...and this one doesn't disappoint me either.

Charles Reid is amazing	Customer Rating:
This book is so helpful..from the preparatory sketch to painting in watercolor, he teaches it all. His techniques are simply amazing, and I've learned more from this book than anything else...I FULLY recommend this book

The Natural Way to Paint: Rendiering the Figure in Watercolor SImply and Beautifully	Customer Rating:
I have other books by Charles Reid that I love. I didn't know that this book was still available, so I was thrilled to find it. It is a great book on painting the figure. I am an art teacher, so I will share it contents with my students.
