Students who have taken my Principles of Art course over at Westmont College know that one of my favorite artists is the Russian draftsman and painter, Nicolai Fechin. Specifically, I love Fechin’s charcoal drawings, not so much his paintings. He was a draftsman without peer, in my opinion. There’s been a few good books on his work that have always included a few token drawings, but I’ve long wished for there to be a book collecting just his drawings.

My wish has come true.
