Synopsis

While there are numerous books on landscape sketching this will be the first in many years to address a new technique of drawing landscapes in perspective. Using a "non-dimensional", "non-object-oriented" technique, the author shows step-by-step how to create simple one-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives.
