Drawing is a skill that <i>can</i> be taught, and these exercises are easy to follow -- and fun! <br />Renowned artist and educator John Green depicts a diverse array of thirty favorite breeds in a variety of poses. Included are the mighty Clydesdale, golden Palomino, elegant Arabian, spotted Pinto, muscular Lippizaner, energetic Thoroughbred, graceful Hanoverian, and many others. As the artists complete the exercises, using the helpful practice pages, they'll learn how to master the basics of shape and proportion, and ultimately capture the elegance and agility of these magnificent creatures.
