Art and Poetry Ron and Anne Edwards both studied and enjoyed Etagami poetry, which when combined with both their skills as artists produce delightful books on a variety of subjects. Ron and Anne both studied art (and met) at Swinburn in Melbourne. Horses were a favoured subject for Ron, and he produced a number of books which will assist the budding artist to tackle this challenging subject. His book on perspective explains the technical side of art in an easy to follow manner, and the two books on watercolour techniques – a medium he was particularly skilled with – will assist both the beginner and the practising artist.

  • Aboriginal Rock Art

    Aboriginal Rock Art

    This book was commenced in 1964 and was intended to be a collaboration between the anthropologist Charles Mountford and the artist and author Ron Edwards. The plan was that Edwards would explore north Queensland to record rock art sites and send the results to South Australia to Mountford, whose part in the project was to interpret the material sent to him. Unfortunately Mountford died in 1976 and any writing that he may have done for the book seems to have vanished. The project was then abandoned, but in 2007 Edwards discovered that some of the art that he had recorded forty years earlier had faded from sight, and other examples had been destroyed. Realising that the drawings that he had made all those years ago might now be the only evidence of many of the sites it was decided to publish the drawings, and the field notes that went with them, as a historical record.

    Sketching Horses

    This is a book for the beginner, the person who feels that they would like to learn to sketch a horse but has not had any training. The beginner is shown a simple method which will allow them to construct the general shape of the horse, and then the various steps are explained as to how to develop this into a painting, a pencil study or an ink drawing. Watercolour can be a very complicated art, but if it is approached in a series of simple steps then it can be practised by anyone of any age, as long as they are willing to take the time.
