Art books on painting and drawing. We’ve chosen some really lovely art books on painting and drawing. Anyone who wants to start painting or drawing loves a book as a guide. There is still nothing like an art book as a source of inspiration, easy reference and sheer joy at the turn of a page. Painting and drawing in particular come to life on the pages of a good book. There’s also something exciting about discovering a new subject or technique or a new artist in a book. It seems more personal to the reader and, it’s arguable, more credible when it’s there in print. A good art book is a great companion to anyone starting off or just expanding their knowledge and discovering new techniques.
Beginners and improvers always need guidance and inspiration whatever their level, and a book always seems to contain that important gem of knowledge they were seeking.
We offer books from well known publishers such as Walter Foster and Search Press. These publishers are known for high quality content that is well written, accurate and beautifully presented. Our drawing books include authors such as Civardi who has been a constant favourite for many years. We stock a range of Manga drawing books also and these sell out regularly! If something is out of stock please feel free to contact us for an update on when a re-stock is due.
