Sketching Outdoors by Barry Herniman

Step outside with this fun, friendly and practical handbook from professional artist Barry Herniman, jam-packed with tips and brimming with answers to questions such as: What should I take? Where should I go? What medium should I use? Where can I find inspiration? What comes across in every detail is the joy Barry experiences when he's sketching outside: it's contagious! He encourages you to absorb your surroundings and addresses the challenges and opportunities you will face as an artist, and teaches you to understand the importance of a sketchbook. This is a handy book you will keep close by for reference time and again. It is full of inspiring artwork as well as five demos: a coastal scene in pen and ink; a countryside panorama in watercolour; a quintessential English village in gouache; a townscape in line and watercolour wash; and trees in watercolour pencils.
