Rembrandt was one of the greatest draftsmen in the history of art. About 1400 attributed to him drawings survive; and probably at least an equivalent number have been lost. He made comparatively few preparatory studies for his paintings and even fewer highly finished drawings - gifts for friends and followers. Usually his drawings were unrelated to his major works and were; moreover; unsigned. Like other artists he drew preparatory studies far his paintings and prints; but he did not make many drawings of this type. Those executed as finished works; complete in themselves; are even rarer. The selection in this book gives us a good idea of Rembrandts range; depth and drawings techniques. It includes self-portraits; portraits; sketches; women gossiping; or people merely watching the passing scene; studies of Jewish types and Orientals; drawings of nudes; birds; domestic animals and captive wild beasts; studies of the landscape; drawings of episodes from the Bible.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. great book. highly recommendBy Hector BorrellAs an intermediate bass player. I wanted to further improve my skills and improve in techniques that are derivative to the style I play which is of course metal. So many other books give you the runaround and dont give you the material that you really need. In this book. Alex Webster covers not only the basics but everything you need to play any style of metal. After mastering this book. you will be proficient enough to play metal bass. great book. highly recommend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Resource for Intermediate Bass PlayersBy CRG2This is an excellent resource for intermediate bass players who have already mastered the basics. Im an amateur. mostly self-taught bass player who has been playing for several years. I got stuck. however. in a very boring rut doing the same things over and over again. Finally I decided to try to up my game and push myself to develop further as a player. Extreme metal is a significant challenge because it is one of the most demanding styles out there. and Alex Webster is one of the undisputed masters. He takes his craft very seriously and hes created this wonderful teaching tool for bass players. The book is written in a very straightforward and unpretentious manner and includes a digital download of over 30 tracks you can learn to play along with. I wouldnt recommend this book for beginners. because it may seem a bit too daunting if you havent got the fundamentals down already. But its perfect for intermediate or even advanced players who want to take their playing to a higher skill level.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good information.

I kind of wish there were some videos to go along with it as unless you have been playing for awhile you might be confused about some of the tapping instructions.
