“Exploring Drawing gives a very fine overview and analysis of drawing, its processes and methodologies, articulated through major artists.
I highly recommend it as a resource for art students, schools and teachers around the globe.”
Dr Irene Barberis

Senior Lecturer, School of Art, RMIT University.


"Exploring Drawing is a fantastic art resource that can inspire young artists whom are often feeling stuck in front of a white page or blank canvas. The book explores a great range of new and old mark making techniques that can be used as tools when creating a piece of art. I hope this book will encourage young artists to not be afraid to try something new when drawing and to see where it may take them."
Alexander Bartleet
Artist profiled in Exploring Drawing


"Exploring Drawing is an excellent overview of drawing strategies that can be employed to encourage students in a range of graphic possibilities. The choice of artists is excellent and demonstrates the exciting and stimulating variety of intellectual and practical approaches to drawing. Also the choice of works to illustrate the nature of the text is very appropriate and delivers tangible evidence of the artist’s intentions.

This book has the combination of substance and inspiration; it never patronises, but retains a clear and accessible methodology that engages the student and teacher alike."
