Description
Robert Taylor’s work draws on a rich painting tradition of detailed realism combined with atmospheric composition. This book contains paintings of planes from different nations and specific historical incidents, grouped in 24 chapters.
There is a 10-page section devoted to his highly detailed full plate pencil drawings, and a score more delightful supporting pencil sketches. These spellbinding illustrations are brought to life by tens of thousands of descriptive words written by the artist himself.
Each painting is given its own chapter in which Robert discusses how he brings the canvas to life, providing a beguiguiling insight into the stories behind each work of art. Robert reveals intriguing information about his preparation and how he tackles research. Fascinatingly, he explains the intricacies of composition, disclosing many of his techniques as he takes you page by page on a virtual tour of his studio.
