Painting. Basic course for future artists

"Many people sincerely doubt their ability to draw, but the very fact that you are holding this book in your hands suggests that you have the most important quality necessary for learning drawing - a desire to try.
To say that this book is addressed primarily to novice artists, it would only be partly true, because the concept of beginners is simply absent in drawing. Each child experiences an insurmountable desire to draw and deals with such confidence that adults can only admire.
In this book we will consider all the traditional genres of painting - still life, landscape, portrait, image of people and animals, architectural structures and interiors of premises ... We will focus on the drawing process, starting with basic and basic techniques and gradually adding new ones to them Elements and techniques that will become the necessary means for the formation and development of your own exquisite drawing style.
