## Description

Art of Urban Sketching: Drawing On Location Around The World : Campanario, Gabriel: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Review - This book is a treasure trove of artistic skill and inspiration. I really love looking at other artists sketchbooks, finding them more interesting than finished paintings. This book is a delight to look through with literally hundreds of colourful sketches faithfully reproduced. The book showcases talent from around the World, but the one theme that unites all is the passion and love of the simplicity of creating an image based on an individual response to a landscape or building. Each artist gives a brief overview of what inspires them or why they chose to draw a scene, and what I really love is that many of them give an indication of how long each sketch took. I have purchased many books on sketching, but this is by far one of the very best. It is not a 'how to' book, and it won't encourage you to mindlessly daub paint blobs and scribbles in the name of 'self expression' as sadly many books do. However, what this book will do is make you want to pack a sketch kit into your bag and get out an about and look at your environment through an 'artists' eye. It will make you look at things a little differently and through your own personal response record a little bit of your experience to a subject and with any luck you will be hooked. A great book at a great value for money price, enjoy!
Review: Fabulously inspirational! - What a stunning book, and amazing value!! I am quite new to drawing but have always dreamed of being able to sketch the places I visit, as well as my own neighborhood. This glorious book contains 320 pages of inspiration from artists around the world who use pencil, ink or watercolour as their medium, so if, like me, you have a particular preference, there are still endless examples to inspire you to get out there and draw. Although it contains numerous tips from the contributing artists, this is not an instructional manual on how to draw, but is hugely inspirational for anyone who is interested in the subject. The Art of Urban Sketching has already become a true treasure in my personal library and I can't recommend it highly enough!!
