Art Tips and Tricks

Freehand: Sketching Tips and Tricks Drawn from Art by Helen Birch is a small but powerful art book for anyone interested in arts and crafts.  Each sketch in the book has a small paragraph describing what gives that particular piece of art its character and dazzle, whether its line, tone, color, perspective or just innovative technique.   Included in the book are drawing fundamentals, resources and a blog list.  The sketches aren’t always a true sketch but can include paper cutting, altered art, reverse drawing and multimedia art to name just a few.  Stop by the library and take a look at this very appealing book.  SG
