The author, Robert Dutton, works in a loose style and combines media such as liquid graphite, inks, metallic inks, charcoal and water-soluble painting and drawing pastels. He also experiments with collage work. <p/>Predominantly focusing on working in black and white, Drawing Dramatic Landscapes explores basic drawing techniques using a limited range of media, then introduces new techniques and products as the reader progresses. This is a highly instructive guide to the techniques Robert himself uses, with numerous exercises and larger step-by-step projects throughout the book showing how he works. Alongside these will be numerous examples of the author's finished artworks accompanied by informative captions explaining the methods used to create them, thereby providing both instruction and inspiration. <p/>Robert works outdoors from life much of the time, finishing his artworks in the studio later. His work is both achievable and aspirational, making this a highly attractive book for artists of all abilities.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>The Artist</b> - March 2021 <p/>Delayed by the events of 2020, this is the first in a series from Search Press that looks at new and innovative techniques. Robert's 30 years' experience in the creative industries now sees him working as a fine artist, tutor and regular contributor to The Artist, but he also has a background in graphic design and illustration. This mixture of skills makes for exciting, but well-explained work - perfect for a book of this kind. Subject-specific books on drawing are fairly thin on the ground, so this comes with a lot of expectations, but should certainly not disappoint. The only reservation would be that, if you're looking for a gentler, more placid approach...well, the title gives it away. Materials include graphite, charcoal, acrylics, inks and pastel and subjects range from rocks and mountains to water, trees and structures. This is an exciting book that will challenge and reward you both creatively and technically.<br>-- Henry Malt<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robert Dutton is quickly becoming one of the UK's best-known and respected contemporary fine artists.
