Book Description
Still life is perfect for beginners since every element can be controlled: composition, lighting, shape, color, and tone. Filled with expert advice, this wonderful guide offers budding artists all the information they need to get started. The ten projects become progressively more complex and highlight different skills. Arrange objects into pleasing displays and be sure that they are properly lit. Draw still lifes of fruits and vegetables, hard objects, flowers and other natural objects, fabric items, pottery, and more. Techniques covered include line and line quality, rendering tone and depicting color as tone, erasing as a creative process, using a grid, and mixing media. With endless possible variations, still life offers art students the ideal introduction to drawing basics.
Book Description
One of the first books of its kind, Sloane's "talk on clouds" does much more than teach you how to draw. Before the sketching even begins, he describes different types of "cloudscapes" and offers homespun techniques that help add texture and realism to cloud illustrations. Includes 110 black-and-white illustrations.
Book Description
It's no mystery why artists love to paint and draw landscapes, and always have, from ancient times to the present, and from beginners to masters. Ten practical projects, offered by an award-winning artist who's also a successful instructor on four continents, appear in simple stages that let you start simply and build your skills. Choose from a range of subjects, from the majesty of mountains, forests, and oceans to the closer-to-home magic of fields, skies, and snowscapes, even your own backyard. You'll try a variety of media, including graphite and pastel pencils, charcoal, pen and ink, chalk, and sketching pencil. Develop your own style and visual vocabulary, line quality, tone, and color, then try your hand at mixing media.

Landform, structure, and lithography aerial interpretation.......2005-04-12
This was the book that I used to learn aerial photo interpretation almost 30 years ago- and it still appears to be the best book on the market. We used it in Geology (specifically, geomorphology- the study of landforms) but it also has applications in geography, conservation, forestry, and surveying.
The best part of the book is its organization by type of landform: wind action (dunes), ground water (Karst topography), mass movements (landslides, slumping, and flows), glaciers, effects of glaciation (U-shaped valleys, moraines, kettles, drumlines, cirques, etc.), lakes, marshes, and abondoned shorelines, desert land forms, marine coastlines, stream deposits (meanders, oxbow lakes, braided channels, and deltas), stream erosion and erosion cycles, volcanic features, and meteor crators. There is also a section on lithology (descriminating of rock types.) In addition there are sections on vegitation types, soils, and cultural features and urban areas. All of these subject areas are illustrated by multiple examples.
You will of course need a stereoscope to use this book, but the inexpensive student model will work just fine. In fact, the vertical exageration really makes the features "pop" out- even to the untrained eye. You will be able to spot most types of landforms from the air after studying this book, as well as, outcrops of strata and structures. This is a big help in preliminary mapping- and prospecting- surveys.
