Good idea but not well executed Moonflower I am undecided about this book. Upon second look, I see some value but there is some 'buts':It describes old masters paintings how they arrived with the shapes using geometrical shapes - such as column, egg, cylinder, block - using shade etc etc. Problem is: while the painting of chosen master takes the whole page (good thing)- explanations of where to look at on it are a tiny copies of the paining with capital letter on it to point out where to look. For example there is a letter B and note that that part of the body is egg shaped. All good but I do not see the egg shape ? wo. Insightful and inspirational [[VIDEOID:38659251]]Drawing Lessons From the Great Masters is an art book that teaches by looking at the art fundamentals used by great art masters themselves -- Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Rodin, Goya, Rembrandt, among others.There are 100 master drawings analysed by Robert Beverly Hale on the fundamentals such as line, light and planes, mass, position and thrust, and anatomy. These are all figure drawings. Each illustration is printed full on one page with a certain section selected for analyzing on the next. The commentary is simple and concise, providing great insight. Still a great book KT&co. Careful! This print version has missing pages. Got this for a class and everyone was missing chunks of pages for the homework questions. Still a great book though
