approaching from the line on up

I like P. Taggart's approach in this series of books. This is one of them. I now have all six books of the series. They cover many different media and he incorporates a lot of techniques one wouldn't think of. They are for both beginners (basics are explained), and more advanced, I feel. This particular book, is as its name implies, Line to Stroke. The line is part of the buildup. It is the underpinning, too, as part of a help in determining the composition. Line to Stroke, emphasizes its direction, curve or angled repeats (hence to the stroke) even to the point of helping to understand good composition (later chapters). Series took me new places, while it leaves nothing to chance for beginners.
