About this title

From Library Journal:

Traveling and sketching can be a combination of pleasure and potential profit, as well as an opportunity for an artist to seek new sources of inspiration. This is a guide to the tools and techniques of travel sketching, illustrated with examples from the author's portfolio. Topics include a description of the basic tools, how to cope with common problems, adding texture to sketches, and the relative advantages of working from photographs versus sketching on the spot (and coping with unwanted spectators). Finally, the author presents helpful suggestions for critiquing the finished work. Overall, the book will be more useful to sketchers with some skill seeking to refine their techniques, rather than the beginner. However, this would be a useful addition to any drawing collection.
