Synopsis

Designed to be packed into a bag and returned to often, this friendly guide answers the practical questions that come with sketching on location, from what to take and where to go, to choosing a medium and finding inspiration. Herniman encourages artists to tune into their surroundings and use their senses to help capture a moment quickly and confidently in a sketchbook.

Alongside extensive colour artwork, the book includes five on-site demonstrations: a coastal scene in pen and ink, a countryside panorama in watercolour, an English village in gouache, a townscape combining line and watercolour wash, and studies of trees in watercolour pencils. It also considers the challenges and opportunities of working outdoors, including adapting to changing weather conditions, and is presented as a resource for intermediate artists.
