Description

A lavishly illustrated collection of essays on drawing as a vital intellectual, artistic, and life practice, by the artists of the Royal Drawing School.

Drawing is among the most profound ways of engaging with the world. It is absorbing and instinctive—a way not just of seeing, but of understanding what we see.

Ways of Drawing brings together a range of reflections and creative propositions by contemporary artists and teachers associated with the Royal Drawing School. The essays are generously illustrated with images by alumni of the School and the work of significant artists, past and present. From explorations of artistic development to short, imaginative strategies for seeing the world afresh, the book repositions this art form as a vital force in the contemporary world.

Advocating passionately for drawing as both deeply personal and utterly essential, this book is an invaluable companion for artists with all levels of experience looking for new inspirations for their practice.
