Synopsis

Designed for artists at any level, this encouraging book explores how to create lively sketches of houses, shops, landmarks and other buildings without getting stuck on perfect perspective or rigid linework. Albert Kiefer shares his signature techniques for developing a more personal, dynamic style, whether you work in pen and ink and alcohol markers or prefer another medium.

Inside, you will find guidance on choosing subjects (from life or photos), composing a scene with balance and contrast, and using only as much perspective as you need. The book also covers editing and exaggeration, point of view, adding colour and detail, and sharing work online, supported by fifteen step-by-step projects and QR codes linking to videos. Suitable for beginners and for anyone looking to sketch architecture more expressively.
