BOOK DESCRIPTION BUY THIS BOOK! * Amazon * BARNES & NOBLE _Pricing varies by retailer_ The many people who long to draw — but feel too intimidated to try — will rejoice at the wonderful


first entry in this brand-new creative series. Written by arts educator Steven Aimone, it’s packed with solid, friendly, hands-on instruction, as well as inspiring images, and backed by the


trusted AARP name. Aimone teaches an accessible style called expressive drawing that emphasizes line and mark, rather than rendering a specific object, which for many people can create


barriers to self-expression. Exercises start off simple and quick, encouraging readers to work on instinct and feeling, while the later ones focus on detail and refinement.
