Traveler's Urban Sketchbook 2: Drawing Landscapes




Traveler's Urban Sketchbook 2: Drawing Landscapes

In this course you will learn how to create beautiful and successful drawings of the landscape.  Using symbols that I have created over my many years of working as a landscape architect and artist, I teach you how to simplify this complex subject matter.  The technique I teach is primarily for sketchers, but can be used by painters as well to create preliminary drawings of landscape paintings.

After learning and mastering the symbols used for each type of generic plants and trees, you go out into the landscape with me and apply your knowledge to the real thing.  See the adjustments made to capture the unique characteristics of the landscape you are drawing and create realistic, landscape sketches.

The last section explores how to create the illusion of depth in your drawings.  Using varying line weight, and shadow symbols, I teach you how to create a focal point and pull plants out and into the foreground and make others recede.

This is a valuable course for both sketchers and painters and truly a unique course that teaches you techniques I have developed over 30 years of working as a landscape architect, artist and sketcher.  If you are a beginning sketcher, plant material is a fun place to start and if your are experienced, then you can improve your sketches by grounding structures with shrubs and trees.
