Synopsis

Structured as a complete introductory course, this book combines essential technical guidance with five step-by-step demonstrations that progress towards more complex and rewarding artworks. Peter Cronin, also a guest judge on Channel 5’s Watercolour Challenge, begins with a clear method that brings the senses into play, then develops artistry and economy in sketching through approachable, practical instruction.

Guidance includes getting started and understanding materials, working with the eye, hand and heart, types of sketching and core techniques, mastering composition, and handling more complex subject matter. Most artworks are created in graphite pencil, with additional demonstrations in charcoal and pen and ink, alongside encouragement to experiment with other media. Suitable for those new to sketching, whether working towards painting or sketching for pleasure.
