Synopsis

Comprehensive and insightful, Ferdinand Petrie's Drawing Landscapes in Pencil is full of invaluable lessons in the subtle art of pencil drawing. The course begins with a thorough overview of materials and fundamental pencil-handling skills before progressing meticulously through a series of lessons about value, form, texture, and smudging techniques.

With dozens of the author's own works included as references and examples, the remaining chapters focus on rendering specific elements of landscapes like hills, trees, bodies of water, reflections, houses, cities, and more.

A wonderful guide for beginners and advanced artists alike, Drawing Landscapes in Pencil will teach you to unlock the potential of the pencil.
