Quick sketches done on the street can lead to more elaborate paintings completed in the studio or stand as works of art in their own right. This book is here to help readers discover the opportunities and challenges inherent in attempting to draw by hand the interactions of architecture, humans, and the urban landscape. The work of 25 artists from cities around the world is showcased, with many fine examples created by each one. The artists' own tips are provided, as are text explanations of techniques and processes. Featured sketches are diagramed and detail views further clarify the processes. Color and architecture are emphasized most in the examples. VERDICTInspiration for any visually creative person, whether they live in a city or only visit. --Library Journal
