From the Back Cover

Practising artist Bobby Clark created this book in response to the many questions she's received about how best to harness creative expression. In it, she presents techniques that will ignite even the most analytical mind, offering a guide to cultivating an artistic practice and breaking through creative blocks.

Twenty-five drawing and painting exercises range from doodling, blind drawing and continuous line portraits to shape studies, abstract floral still lifes and blot painting. Focusing on mark making and form, the exercises will help readers develop a fundamental knowledge of techniques and tools, and in so doing build trust in their intuition - as well as teaching them to focus less on expectation and outcome.

From breaking down the potential fear of starting something new to getting to know materials and techniques, the exercises in this book will help everyone tap into their inner artist and create their own masterpieces.
