Art Product Focus - Drawing

Welcome to our new product focus page at artfair365. This time we're looking at some of the great Drawing products available.

	Derwent Drawing Range This is drawing at its most natural, both in the exquisite colour range and the creative potential of this unique and rewarding pencil. Drawing has an extra wide, creamy textured strip which produces a beautifully soft, velvety finish. It is the perfect medium for wildlife and nature studies, natural portraiture and dreamy, evocative landscapes. Drawing is available in 24 subtle shades, including a wide selection of traditional sepia tones together with soft neutral greys, greens, blues and creams.

Drawing Matters Approaching the subject of drawing from line, tone, shape, colour and composition, and focusing on the use of sketchbooks to gather visual information, this book inspires the reader with examples of life drawing and working sketchbooks from selected artists and students as guides to good practice. Project ideas, information about drawing materials, practical tips and themes for sketchbook work are also included.

	Daler-Rowney Sketching Pencils Daler-Rowney Artists Sketching Pencils come in a variety of popular mediums including watersoluble, drawing, smooth, charcoal, and a solid graphite pencil. Visit our Arts Directory for details of stockists.

The Drawing Book The works included here, by artists, architects, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers and thinkers of all descriptions, attest to the versatility and immediacy of drawing. From first thoughts to finely wrought, elaborate artworks, from the lightest sketch in pencil to bold, gallery-wall installations, the medium is shown as an essential vehicle for creativity. Richly illustrated throughout with a diverse range of images, from the old masters - Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Durer - through great Modernist pieces by Rodin, Picasso, Matisse, and on to the contemporary artists who are reviving drawing today, this provides a new and unique approach to an age old medium.

	Winsor & Newton Charcoal Specially prepared for artists' use, the wood used for this willow charcoal is correctly baked to produce an even line of consistent intensity. Available in a variety of sizes and packs. Visit our Arts Directory for details of stockists.
