Only a thoroughly accomplished artist such as Borough Johnson--a nineteenth-century landscape and genre painter--could manage to illuminate the technique of pencil drawing in these exquisitely simple terms. Artists at every level of experience will appreciate the wealth of information he offers on everything from choosing the right tools to drawing the nude figure. With a host of helpful "how-to" illustrations, as well as a "mini-gallery" of finished compositions, this invaluable guide offers clear direction for artists who want to learn to draw--or sharpen their skills.Johnson starts with the basics, explaining how to hold a pencil for the greatest control, how to select the right paper, and how to add shading and tone for the best results. "The range of effects is infinite," he affirms. Moving outdoors, he tackles landscapes, seascapes, and other scenery, demonstrating where to start your sketch and where to leave off. When drawing the nude figure, he suggests quick poses to capture body structure and balance before adding detail. Best of all, Johnson explores the importance of individuality in each artist and how each one's expression should be absolutely unique. When you see the magnificent artwork included--from stunning portraits of dancers and fishermen to splendid scenes in Venice and Pisa--you'll be inspired to master this expressive art form.

Loving these
Color: Wooden Black
Two (Med and Large) will safely hold a larger electric power strip. The Small is on my desk holding odd items and bits that should be stored upright. They're so simple to use too! I love the colored Velcro strips that come with them and the plastic cable guides. I honestly didn't know they were included so that was a BONUS! It definitely helped sort my cables and power cords for my work station as well as my crafting station. Keeping them safely out of the way means my robot vacuum can run without any complications. The wood tops actually blend with the floors making them less visible. If I needed more I would certainly get more! I may buy more for gifting.

No More Messy Looking Cords Everywhere
Color: Wooden Black
These are such a great find! My office, bedroom and living room look so much cleaner now! The sizes were just right to meet our needs. The colors matched our decor and the cords no longer stick out like a sore thumb. It was easy to get the power strip and the cords organized inside the boxes and using these is just the perfect solution to a messy problem. Highly recommended!

Hides the cords well
Color: Wooden Black
Very subtle and hides the cords and surge protector well. They look appealing and blend in with other items well allowing them to not stand out. I wish the lid snapped on, though. Depending on the cords, it sometimes sticks up. But is an easy fix.

Cable Management Box - Stylish and Functional!
The woodtone cable management box has not only decluttered my workspace but also added a touch of style. The quality of the wood finish is impressive, seamlessly blending with my decor.
The box easily conceals and organizes cables, reducing the visual chaos. However, the lid could fit a bit more snugly to enhance the overall aesthetic. Regardless, it's a practical and visually appealing solution for keeping cables tidy. A must-have for those looking to maintain a clean and organized workspace with a touch of sophistication.
