This inspiring guide covers both still-life and landscape drawing, and encourages beginner and intermediate artists to slow down, observe more closely and discover a richer connection to the natural world through drawing.
A highly anticipated follow-up to David’s popular book, Pen and Ink Drawing Techniques, and his hallmark approach is here again: warm, achievable instruction that encourages hands on exploration.
- WORK AT DIFFERENT SCALES: The book progresses through three distances – close up nature, intermediate views and sweeping landscapes – each section offering clear, visual explanations, step by step demonstrations and practical exercises. Progress from observing and capturing the tiniest details, such as the structure and texture of a leaf, to working on a larger scale and learning how to simplify complex natural scenes.
- PRACTISE YOUR TECHNIQUE: You’ll learn how to observe proportion and value, use light and shadow to create depth, and choose the right linework: hatching, cross hatching, scribbling, woven textures and diluted ink, to capture everything from fine botanical details to atmospheric forest scenes.
- HONE YOUR CREATIVE SKILLS: Short exercises reinforce technique; creative prompts inspire consistency; and project based guidance helps you build complex compositions and develop a personal style. With over 200 illustrations and examples, the book makes nature drawing approachable for all skill levels.
