By Diane Wright - Drawing Made Easy: Beautiful Landscapes: Discover Your "Inner Artist" as You Explore the Basic Theories and Techniques of Pencil Drawing (Drawing Made ... Theories and Techniques of Pencil Drawing Paperback – 30 Jun. 2007

Diane Wright's obvious love of her subjects and her art make this an inspiring read. I found it stimulated me to think about new ways of looking at things and to re-examine my techniques. I enjoyed being taken behind the scenes as it were to see her putting a picture together.I believe anyone interested in drawing,whatever their skill level, could gain something from this short affordable book.

There is not many books out there on Landscape Pencil Drawing, that come close to this, which I have read any way, She show the techniques well and takes you stage by stage through the process of a particular subject, an example clouds and sky's. well worth a read this book I am new to art and this book has taken me much further in the field.

I like this book because the style presented is exactly what I aim to learn. The author shows in many different actual drawings, the step-by-step process to 'build' the drawings. I prefer learning by examples rather than reading about the drawing techniques in an isolated way. Like two reviewers already mentioned, the resolutions of the figures are not enough, which is too bad, otherwise I would give it a 5-star.

this is an amazing book on how to draw, it explain everything ...I am thrilled with it.

This book is not big, but it does what it sets out to do with excellence!The tips are great, and the pencil art is very inspiring.Diane, thank you for creating this book.

I have found this book and the others I have bought so far to be excellent and perfect for anyone interested in drawing and getting started in this media. Thank you. I will be purchasing more in the near future.

Good book to show what can be achieved using basic Drawing Skill

It is clear that the artist is gifted and that descriptions of the tools and paper used are valuable, but the drawings are mainly tiny. I did try using a magnifying glass, but the reproduction loses the pencil strokes. If the book was of a sensible size it would actually be of use to the reader for learning to draw landscapes. Having read the other reviews I wonder if they are talking about an earlier version which was in a larger format?

Great detail and informative book on how to draw. Fed-Ex not really great for delivering.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Buch, zwar etwas schade, das es das anscheinend nicht in deutscher Sprache gibt, ich habe es jedenfalls nicht auf deutsch gefunden, aber die Texte lassen sich gut übersetzen.

Un altro libro in inglese da avere.Ricco di consigli e tecniche specifiche per questo tipo di disegno,non fatelo mancare nella vostra collezione.

Along with Diane's web site tutorials, her book is a great review and more. Retired with a disability I turned to oil painting as part of my pass time. Trying to improve that skill I realized I needed to become better at drawing. Then I discovered Diane and was amazed at her work. What has really intrigued me is how three dimensional her work is, made with subtle changes in values using pencil. One of the things I like most about Diane's book is how she explains the step by step process of achieving very believable landscapes.

If there is any great subject to be drawn, landscapes are certainly great choices. Just look around, pick one that really makes you happy, and put it right down on paper! Ideas are really everywhere; you only have to look to see them.
