Be Inspired: To Draw Like a Renaissance Master

A sketchbook that teaches how to draw like Renaissance masters from the Royal Collection.

Drawing is an old, grand tradition critical to an artist’s development. Sketchbooks are an essential component of drawing and a mainstay of all artists, amateur or professional.

This elegant and inspiring workbook features examples of masterworks by some of the greatest artists in the Royal Collection that can now be studied, copied, and used as drawing inspiration. Be Inspired includes an introduction to the materials and techniques used by such artists as Leonardo, Parmigianino, Michelangelo, and Raphael, among others.

A department of the Royal Household, the Royal Collection Trust is responsible for the care of more than one million works of art in the Royal Collection and manages the public opening of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Mews, and The Queen’s Galleries in London and Edinburgh.
