This beginner's guide to drawing in graphite pencil uses step-by-step exercises to teach fundamental methods for rendering all aspects of the natural landscape, with additional lessons on using charcoal, colored pencil, pastel, and other media.

Following in the footsteps of author, artist, and art instructor Suzanne Brooker's previous title The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting, this book pairs the most universally-pursued topic for artists (drawing) with the popular subject matter of the natural landscape. Brooker breaks down landscapes into their various elements--including the earth, water, air, and trees--to convey how the fundamentals of drawing are applied to capture each aspect. Using the graphite pencil as her baseline instrument, Brooker provides you with step-by-step lessons that help you improve your rendering skills and re-create the beauty of the world outdoors. Examples from art history and contemporary masters supplement these lessons. The end result is a drawing instruction book that provides artists with everything they need to render landscapes no matter their skill level.

“Suzanne Brooker’s book Essential Techniques of Landscape Drawing is extremely thoughtful and compressive, with beautiful examples of landscape drawings. She’s written a wonderfully detailed book covering the various materials, applications, and approaches needed to execute successful landscape drawings.” —Costa Vavagiakis, art instructor at The Art Students League of New York

"This book does a beautiful job of translating the visual complexities of the natural world into tangible concepts for artists, providing readers with the tools and techniques needed to achieve personal expression. Written in a language that is inspiring and easy to understand, Brooker’s teachings are essential for artists at all stages of their development." —Tamalin Baumgarten, professional artist and Master of Fine Arts --Este texto se refiere a la edición hardcover.

Chapter 1: The Basics of Landscape Drawing

WHAT IS VISUAL THINKING?

Visual thinking is a different, non-verbal mode of thinking as compared to those used for analyzing, reasoning or communicating with language. It is based on a visual language of line, shape, color, value, and texture—the formal elements that create all visual images. You can think of visual thinking as if it were a new alphabet, one made up of pencil marks that when assembled make up grass, clouds, and water, instead of words, sentences, and thoughts. Essentially, all drawings are made up of abstract marks organized via visual thinking to convey a sense of representation or realness for the viewer. After all, paper is flat but the world is filled with dimension. As a result, you can think of a drawn image as the art of illusion, of creating the resemblance of volume and space.

Developing our observational skills becomes important since what we draw is our perceptions of the natural world. The process of drawing opens your perceptions of the visible world through an active process of observation where what your eyes see-by-looking is melded to the mental function of noticing. Learning to draw is not only about seeing in a new way, but also translating what you see through drawing techniques and the visual traditions of Western culture. In the following chapters, you’ll learn more about specific techniques and how these skills are applied in landscape drawing.

The importance of drawing can never be overstated. Through drawing, you activate a connection between your eyes and your brain through to your hand that reflects your thoughts and perceptions revealed through drawing materials. In other words, visual thinking is the way you perceive the world around you and convert those observations via the drawing process.

Drawing as a finished product doesn’t even matter as much as the process of drawing itself does. One of the benefits of learning to draw is that it enhances your mental functions, literally building new connections within your brain. Although we consider communicating with language as the most important brain function, it is vision that dominates our senses. Drawing utilizes the right side of your brain, which perceives spatial relationships, patterns and shape relationships. Unlike the left side of your brain, it has no words/language as it perceives the world visually. For instance, without the right side of your brain you wouldn’t be able to drive or walk down a simple stairway! The left side of your brain however, is verbal and functions visually by symbol recognition. It gives verbal labels for what you see (grass, dog, tree) and stops noticing once an object is identified. A drawing practice focuses your mental attention on the present moment and quiets the verbal chatter of your left brain so you can see/notice what the right brain is observing. This opens your awareness of the natural world away from the concerns of daily life.

Essential Techniques of Landscape Drawing.

Revisado en Reino Unido el 5 de junio de 2019

Compra verificada

A very useful and well-presented book on the very specific subject of drawing the landscape.

Landscape has been the dominant subject in my own work for most of my student/professional life and now that I'm obliged to teach others, I've had to consider different ways of helping students gain and develop an approach to this very popular area of artistic endeavour; most people want to launch straight into painting the subject, working with colour and trying to negotiate details, but it's a much more complicated process than many realise.
Drawing is a fundamental approach to anything, including landscape; it is an intense observational exercise that reveals how things are structured and becomes a fascinating and meditative discipline in itself – that is what this book will help the student explore and nurture for themselves.
It offers very useful instruction and advice, backed up by example drawings by the author and a range of other artists; there's very basic information in the early chapters which is common to all drawing books, but both the text and the examples as one progresses through the book become more specific; there are some panels showing different stages in a drawing, but they are not the step-by-step demonstrations many students expect (and tend to copy) but are simply examples of how to approach a subject in one's own work.
While some of the subject matter is characteristically American landscape, the techniques and approaches are all easily applicable to the landscape of any country.
Later chapters do deal with colour using graphic materials like pastel or coloured pencils.

A worthwhile book for any aspiring landscape artist to have for both instruction and reference; do use the “Look inside” option at the top of the page for an idea of the contents.

For anyone who wants to understand and improve on depicting landscape.

This is a stunning book. I had often come across recommendations for it but had ignored it since I had erroneously assumed- from the title- that it was another how-to book full of step by step instructions that I have plenty of. Fortunately I used the "look inside " feature and was so impressed by the author's approach that I bought it. She goes way beyond just the how-to aspects of drawing in many different media and also delves into why-to in a clear, succinct way that I found excellent. She manages to pin down in words many problems and their solutions I've been able to identify (and draw) but have never been able explain properly.
Anyone who is seriously interested in landscape drawing and painting will find this a tremendously useful book. The author assumes the reader is willing to study, observe and practice but has packed the book with photos, illustrations and examples from many different sources that help and inspire.
Whether you are a practiced painter of landscape, a teacher or an intermediate landscapist who has outgrown beginners books I believe this book has a lot to offer you. (Brooker's observations on the problems encountered when using photographic sources for your work and on how to fix them will be worth the cost of the book to many.)
Ignore the misleading title of this book, if you are interested in landscapes and how to depict them realistically this is a great resource.

A very thorough examination of landscape drawing, an area sadly neglected by authors, plenty of examples to illustrate the concepts the author is teaching. This book would compliment the late Jack Hamm's "Drawing Scenery: landscapes and seascapes, sadly not available as a Kindle book but still available as a paperback or PDF.

Simply first class!

This book without doubt is the best book on drawing I've ever purchased. It reinforces, solidifies and provides direction to the techniques I already knew but which I struggled to apply in practice. It is a book that is suitable for both the novice and skilled artist alike. If you are serious about improving your technique and your drawing skills, just get it. You won't be disappointed.
