Reviews
It is one of the most complete analyses to have been published and examines the topic not only as a foundation for other work, but also as a serious method of production in its own right. David Brammeld uses the full gamut of media, making this a comprehensive, enjoyable and satisfying guide to drawing in both theory and practice. -- Henry Malt - review The Artist * The Artist *
