Book excerpt: "A comprehensive guide to quick sketching of landscapes. 5 Minute Sketching-Landscapes is about drawing what you see, mostly in settings away from the "modern world." It's especially appropriate for travelers. There are 60 exercises for new and aspiring artists which can be done in any number of locations and as often as desired. All will help to hone skills, increase speed, and help to promote a daily drawing routine. Sketchers will learn how look at a scene and deconstruct its elements quickly - for example, see natural features as colored geometric shapes; locate the source of light; divide the scene into planes (e.g., close, mid, far) for accurate perspective and color values; and note landmarks that support their observations. Readers will build an instinctive focus that pays off in speed and results. Experienced artists will refresh their skills, eliminate bad habits, and discover new ways of seeing.

Download or read book Outdoor Sketching written by F. Hopkinson Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anything that this author has to say on the subject of outdoor sketching will command the attention of all those familiar with his distinguished work in this field, and there can be no doubt that the book is one of the most valuable that have yet appeared on this branch of art. From the pen of a man like the late F. Hopkinson Smith we would expect, however, more than a merely academic treatment of the methods and problems of the worker in water-colors and charcoal, and it is a fact that the boundless enthusiasm of these pages arouses latent sensibilities in the reader, and renders intelligible to the layman, as almost nothing else could, the vivid fascination and significance of all art. It is for this quality that the volume is most to be treasured. The treatment of outdoor sketching is here so free from technicalities as to make itself absolutely clear to the most untutored reader, while the beauty of the style lifts the book out of the class of manuals into the realm of creative literature. Then, too, the author regards his subject in the light of a sport as much as of an art or study. Everywhere we run up against the irresistible fun and rapture of the thing. Among the works which stimulate in the ordinary man a healthy understanding of art, works which educate us in the joy of it, the librarian will surely give this "Outdoor Sketching" a high place. -The Book Buyer, Vol. 39
