🕑 Added 2021-01-13 17:59:27 +0000 UTCA Book Review from The Florence Academy of Art faculty featured on The FAA Collective Patreon
We are excited to present you with one of our new types of content available on The FAA Collective Patreon: book recommendations and reviews! In this video Toby Neve, graduate of and a principal instructor at the Florence Academy of Art, recommends The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed. This book is one of the required texts for students of The Florence Academy of Art and is an invaluable resource for the modern artist working in the tradition of classical realism. In this review Neve shares some information on the book’s author, its structure, and explains the importance and strengths of the text while selecting several excerpts that illustrate its connection to the tradition in which students are taught today.
We hope you thoroughly enjoy this video! Information on the The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed from Dover Books and more about Toby Neve is available below.
Publisher description: Classic approach to the dynamics of drawing by brilliant teacher with insights and practical advice on line drawing, mass drawing, visual memory, materials and much more. 84 plates and diagrams reinforce Speed's clear presentation.
