A celebration of creative drawing, the Strokes of Genius series showcases standout work from today's top artists.

This 8th volume focuses on how artists use texture to bring life and depth to subjects ranging from soulful portraits and expressive still lifes, to beautiful landscapes and pulsing city scenes.
