Drawing Sharp Focus Still Lifes

Summary: best I have ever read regarding drawing fundamentals
Review: I have been a professional drawing instructor for over fifteen years and have found this book to be one of the very best for assisting students in grasping the concept of form construction, rendering objects correctly in linear perspective, seeing and building values, and gaining an appreciation of the value of striving for technical skills. Having been educated in an era in which the theory was not to teach "technique" for fear it would stifle a student's creativity (and realizing that this approach was bogus), I can honestly say that Mr. Zappalorti has done his students a great service if his teaching methods are reflected in this text. My sincere congratulation and thanks for a marvelous teaching resource!
