Path of Drawing: Lessons for Everyday Creativity and Mindfulness

Tem alguns bons exercícios para quem pratica ou ensine, mas o tipo de desenho apresentado no livro é muito estereotipado.

This book fills a void around the overlap between creativity and spirituality—two drops of water in the same stream moving in the same direction—and Ms. Watwood’s words and simple artistic exercises in this book offer wisdom, solace, and companionship to anyone exploring creativity as a means of self-discovery. In the Path of Drawing, Patricia Watwood speaks to the creative person’s journey in ways both personal and universal while also giving us inspiring examples of drawings by modern masters as well as easily instituted daily practices around drawing that encourage her reader in creative and accessible ways. This book will add to the growth of any artist—amateur or professional—in the sense that Ms. Watwood is drawing from a wisdom stream both old and true, and she is presenting it for the visual artist in a way that encourages daily practice. Patricia Watwood is a modern master artist who shares nothing but light and encouragement in this book.I recommend The Path of Drawing to any creative person. Yes, this book should be and will likely be essential reading for all aspiring visual artists in the sense that it presents a good overview of the wisdom needed to follow the artistic path, but it will also speak to all people who seek creativity as a piece of a fully-lived life.

Un très beau livre sur la pratique du dessin. Je suis enseignante en arts visuels et cet ouvrage est une source d’inspiration. Les exercices sont riches et bien illustrés. Attention, version anglaise.

Clearly written, enjoyed reading and also bought one as a present.

molto completo e interessante
