The mention of the Peter Beard workshop sent me looking for on-line
references to the artist. His book is available at Amazon and other
on-line book stores. Finding anything graphic online was harder, but
there is this:

(for the web site) and:

(a very quiet piece, subtle, and evocative, it seems to me, of the
human form, and from that, of human aspiration.)
