The Pencil

Rating:
Summary: Masterful technique for the serious artist
Review: Like an old "worthless" violin that comes to life in the hands of a master musician, Paul Calle proves that the pencil, any old pencil, can be used to produce fine art in the hands of a master. I have studied his work in this excellent book, and applied his techniques with every kind of pencil from "drawing" pencils to an old stub found in the garage. Drawing is the foundation of the graphic arts, and Paul Calle raises the "lowly pencil" from a medium for quick sketches to the production of stand alone works of art.
