Only a thoroughly accomplished artist such as Borough Johnson--a nineteenth-century landscape and genre painter--could manage to illuminate the technique of pencil drawing in these exquisitely simple terms. Artists at every level of experience will appreciate the wealth of information he offers on everything from choosing the right tools to drawing the nude figure. With a host of helpful "how-to" illustrations, as well as a "mini-gallery" of finished compositions, this invaluable guide offers clear direction for artists who want to learn to draw--or sharpen their skills.
Johnson starts with the basics, explaining how to hold a pencil for the greatest control, how to select the right paper, and how to add shading and tone for the best results. "The range of effects is infinite," he affirms. Moving outdoors, he tackles landscapes, seascapes, and other scenery, demonstrating where to start your sketch and where to leave off. When drawing the nude figure, he suggests quick poses to capture body structure and balance before adding detail. Best of all, Johnson explores the importance of individuality in each artist and how each one's expression should be absolutely unique. When you see the magnificent artwork included--from stunning portraits of dancers and fishermen to splendid scenes in Venice and Pisa--you'll be inspired to master this expressive art form.

I used two Lolalet stands to display special Christmas ornaments that represent countries I have visited. They look terrific displayed this way! I will purchase more as my travels continue.

I wish it was a little bit taller
Color: Black, Color: Black
I love the way this necklace stand looks. It is visually captivating and has a sculpture-like appearance. I looked at a lot of other necklace stands and didn’t see another that didn’t require pulling one necklace over another to get it off and is visually appealing. There are a lot that do one, but not the other. I do wish it was 1.5” taller or spiraled down at a little bit shorter pace. I have mostly long necklaces and the bottom few hooks won’t be usable. Also, I feel like there could be a bit less space between the hooks which would allow more hooks to be inserted. Overall I think this is great! It is beautiful and generally very useful.

No more tangled necklaces.
Color: Black
I found the necklace stand to be exactly what was needed. It's not to tall or short and can be adjusted with the rods. Great for the price.
