Essential reading for realist artists.

There are so many great books on drawing and painting from life. Particularly those written by artists in the early part of the 20th Century, back when working from life was the mainstay of art education. But where do you begin?

If you only ever read two authors on painting, they should be Harold Speed and Richard Schmid. In this video SIMPLIFY Drawing & Painting instructor Alex Tzavaras explains why their books, packed full of wisdom on how draw and paint from life, are his absolute favourites:
