Author
A basic understanding of anatomy is required by any serious artist
who wishes to depict the human body effectively: one must be able
to not only see the form; but also to understand what it is comprised
of. With an in-depth study of morphology, proportions, muscles,
joints and bone structure; Civardi ultimately breaks down this
complex drawing process into simple anatomical sections consisting
of the head, torso, arms and legs. Combining his artistic and
scientic expertise, he teaches the reader how to depict the human
form in the most convincing way.
Giovanni Civardi was
born in Milan in 1947.
While training to become a sculptor, portrait artist and illustrator
at the Free Life-Study School of the Accademia di Brera, he also
studied medicine and surgery. For over a decade, he worked as an
illustrator, producing commissions for newspapers, magazines and
book covers. During frequent trips to France and Denmark, Civardi
put on one-man exhibitions of this work and pursued his interest in
studying the relationship between medical anatomy and the human
form as depicted by the artist. His experience gained from teaching
anatomy, life drawing and portraiture in schools and institutions over
many years has led to the publication of numerous books in which
Civardi’s experiences are brought into focus.

Roy Lang shows you how to capture the power, majesty and
atmosphere of the sea in oils. Learn how the sea and sky
interact in nature, and how to portray their many moods. There is
ample information on oil paints and on techniques such as tonal
underpainting, as well as general painting advice on color, tone and
composition. Also specic information on sea painting, from aspects
of beaches to painting rocks to swells, foam bursts, waves, spray,
mass foam, linear form patterns, submerged detail and shorelines.
Roy explains how to paint cloudy, summer, stormy and evening
and night skies, before examining light, reections, mood and
atmosphere. All this invaluable expertise is brought together in two
highly accomplished sea and sky paintings, demonstrated step by
step.
Roy Lang writes ‘I do not consider myself to be an artist; rather
someone who has learnt to portray its moods, colors and
movements with paint on canvas.’ Despite opting out of art at school
at the age of thirteen, Roy started painting again in his late thirties
while out of work. His understanding of the sea, mainly gleaned from
angling in his youth, made up for his lack of any formal training in art.
He now travels, giving demonstrations and workshops.

Author
A member of the Society for Women Artists (SWA), international
watercolourist Jean Haines is well-known for her love of her chosen
medium. Having lived and travelled in many countries, this popular
artist has had the opportunity to develop her skills whilst under the
inuence of masters from many countries, including Asia, the Middle
East and Europe. She studied brush control while living in China
and this had the greatest impact on her style. Later, when working
with artists from India and Pakistan, she became inspired by the
vibrant colours they used. The combination of East meets West in
Jean’s style is to be enjoyed. The magical free ow of water and
colour straight on to a blank working surface (with no initial drawing)
creates amazing results, often leaving her audience breathless with
delight. Her hugely successful workshops are held regularly over
the world. In 2015 she will be visiting California, New York and St
Louis in the USA to hold workshops and launch her latest new book
‘Jean Haines’ Watercolour World’. Jean lives in Crookham Village,
Hampshire.
