Recent Reads: Just Draw Fineliner Art by Liam Carver

My review: ???

Just Draw Fineliner Art is a lovely book, full of pictures, and is aimed at people who can already draw.

It has a lot of drawings, with the dimensions and the materials that have been used to make it, to help you understand how they did it, but this isn’t a step by step guide for how to create these yourself.

I’m afraid I don’t know enough about art for this to be as useful to me as I feel it would be, but the pictures were lovely, and I’m sure it will be great for those of you who are more talented artists!

Just Draw Fineliner Art was published on 3rd March 2020, and is available on Amazon and on Waterstones. I’ve found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Quarto (the publishers) for this book.

My review: ????

Just Draw Botanicals is a lovely book, full of pictures, and is aimed at people who can already draw.

It is about working with different mediums, and how to approach drawing plants, flowers and fruit

I really liked the pictures, and I think if you are an artist then it would be helpful for you to read and approach things in a different way.

Recent Reads: The Art of Love: The Romantic and Explosive Stories Behind Art’s Greatest Couples by Kate Bryan and illustrations by Asli Yazan

My review: ????

The Art of Love by Kate Bryan and illustrated by Asli Yazan gives brief overviews of artists relationships and of their art. There are illustrations by Asli Yazan throughout, to give you an idea of the art produced by these artists.

I think of this type of book as coffee table book. It’s there to dip in and out of, to admire how attractive it is, and to educate you a little in something new.

I found myself often googling pictures of the art as there are typically 2 illustrations per couple, and sometimes I wanted to see the real thing!

I don’t know a lot about art, and this was a great introduction to a lot of artists, and giving you a little more to understand about them, and the context of their relationship and their art.

It is a lovely book, and feels like a good starting point if you want more information about these artists!

The Art of Love was published on 2nd July 2019, and is available to buy on Amazon and on Waterstones. I’ve found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
