Although geared toward professional artists, this accessible approach to landscape sketching will also appeal to amateurs. English artist Donald Maxwell''s entertaining and straightforward attitude begins with the basics: "We will draw a brick. Anybody can draw a brick."
Following introductions to perspective, light and shade, and composition, Maxwell proceeds to demonstrate how to direct a picture''s focus, and he discusses the challenges of ink as a mediumHis observations are complemented and enhanced with illustrative examples of boatyards, bridges, churches, and country farms from throughout Great Britain that date from the early twentieth century. A concluding gallery features a bonus collection of twenty-five images by Frank Brangwyn, Joseph Pennell, Otto Fischer, and other contemporary masters of pen-and-ink landscapes.
Specially added for this edition is a new Foreword written by Sonja Rozman and Gaper Habjanic, two landscape architects with a passion for drawing.
