    About Essential Techniques of Landscape Drawing

    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

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
