Absolutely great book for the landscape sketcher. Learnt a lot about "reading" your landscape in order to sketching it properly.

My Dad Loves This Book

My dad is a technical guy so when this book doesnt go into overly flowery detail, hes a happy camper. It shows you what stroke with what pencil to use to achieve what youre looking for.

No real instruction

Many good examples of the author's drawings, but very little instruction on the process.

It isn't quite what I expected, more of an overview of very basic drawing techniques and then straight into overviews of completed drawings. There really isn't any discussion of suggestions for the beginner on different ways to draw common objects found in landscapes.

great book!

High quality images and solid teachings. Can be applied to many other artists such as pink and ink. Good value and a helpful purchase.

Excellent Examples of "Broad Stroke" Drawing

This is not a book for beginners. As the author states in the introduction, it is aimed at students who have had some training and experience drawing and have some knowledge of freehand perspective. It is meant “to arouse an interest in the art of pencil technique, especially as it pertains to out of door subjects.” The book was originally published in 1929. The technique referred to is the now all-but-forgotten technique of broad stroke drawing or pencil painting where “each stroke is made in some definite direction, and then left that way...” Other proponents of this technique include Theodore Kautzky (“The Ted Kautzky Pencil Book”), Earnest W. Watson (“The Art of Pencil Drawing”), Ferdinand Petrie (“Drawing Landscapes in Pencil”) and Carl Purcell (“Drawing with Your Artist's Brain”). The strength of this book is in the 22 finished drawings reproduced of a size and quality allowing study of the various strokes used in their creation. A succinct description is provided with each explaining a particular problem solved in the drawing. If you appreciate this type of drawing and are looking for samples to study, this is one of the few books available that is dedicated to the technique.
