I do wish I could get ahold of this book! Alas, only in Britain…
What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How is one to get through that wall — since pounding at it is of no use? In my opinion one has to undermine that wall, filing through it steadily and patiently.
What I try to acquire is not to draw a hand but the gesture, not a mathematically correct head, but the general expression… In short, life.

Huh? Amazon US appears to have it too…

Amazon UK will ship to the US. It’s a little pricy, but worth it when there’s a book you really want but can’t get here.
You’re in the US too aren’t you? It’s available on Amazon. I buy most of my books on Amazon – no tax, no shipping charge and a discount. What more could you ask for. And thank you for your comment on my drawings. And they’re all done with markers not watercolor.
Interesting… I did the search late, when I was bleary. I didn’t see it among the results and only four results came up for me. Maybe I’d typed it in wrong. Thanks for clarifying. And yes, I buy nearly all my books from Amazon. 🙂
And Kim is right, Amazon UK ships here. My fiancee’ gets all the Harry Potters in their native tongue rather than in ‘American’, so to speak.
