Synopsis

English artist Donald Maxwell's entertaining and straightforward approach begins with the basics: ""We will draw a brick. Anybody can draw a brick."" Topics include basics of perspective, light and shade, and composition; how to direct a picture's focus; and the challenges of ink as a medium, illustrated by wonderful studies of boatyards, bridges, churches, and farms. A concluding gallery features additional selections by masters of pen-and-ink landscapes.
