I've never been one to draw landscapes， because I didn't really know how。 But I wanted to learn， and this book was really helpful。 I've always drawn people and animals， but now I can draw landscapes as well。 I've never been one to draw landscapes， because I didn't really know how。 But I wanted to learn， and this book was really helpful。 I've always drawn people and animals， but now I can draw landscapes as well。 。。。more

This is a very short book so it only gives a cursory glance to instruction at the beginning （which is not necessarily bad --as many art books give too much space here IMO。 This is a standard type of art book that jumps from a fairly simple picture to a more complex one without much instruction （which unfortunately I do not care for） however I will say they really tried to cover as much ground as possible in such a short book， showing many different landscape types。

This is a short golden gem for drawing landscapes。 I love art books by William Powell and this one does not disappoint。 I love the helpful tips and suggestions as well as the talented artwork。 I highly recommend this book as a reference and I have already pre-ordered it。 I love the tips for drawing tree with in the foreground as silhouettes and creating the illusion of mist in a waterfall。 The tips for realistic water and adding reflections is excellent。I received this book from NetGalley and th This is a short golden gem for drawing landscapes。 I love art books by William Powell and this one does not disappoint。 I love the helpful tips and suggestions as well as the talented artwork。 I highly recommend this book as a reference and I have already pre-ordered it。 I love the tips for drawing tree with in the foreground as silhouettes and creating the illusion of mist in a waterfall。 The tips for realistic water and adding reflections is excellent。I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review。 。。。more

Step-by-step instructions with a lot of detail on drawing practices。 Focus on textures really worked with some of the most difficult things when drawing landscapes （stones， waves， clouds， etc） to help someone really become a better artist

Do you need help to learn to draw landscapes？In his book "Drawing: Landscapes with William F。 Powell。 Learn to Draw outdoor scenes step by step" the artist William F。 Powell states: "You can discover beautiful landscapes almost anywhere—in your vacation photographs， at local parks， and even in your own backyard！ 。。。 with a little practice， you’ll be able to apply your newfound skills and draw your own beautiful masterpieces！" The steps that he deems necessary to get from the preliminary sketch t Do you need help to learn to draw landscapes？In his book "Drawing: Landscapes with William F。 Powell。 Learn to Draw outdoor scenes step by step" the artist William F。 Powell states: "You can discover beautiful landscapes almost anywhere—in your vacation photographs， at local parks， and even in your own backyard！ 。。。 with a little practice， you’ll be able to apply your newfound skills and draw your own beautiful masterpieces！" The steps that he deems necessary to get from the preliminary sketch to the completed work are exploring how to choose suitable subjects， creating a sense of depth through perspective， and utilizing various points of view。 The readers will also learn simple techniques for developing trees， clouds， rocks， water， and shading methods。The book is one of the 40-page books from the "Drawing 。。。 step by step" series for beginners， published by Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster。 The Book contains fifteen chapters， starting out with the basic information about tools & materials and shading techniques before diving into the specific step-by-step teaching that is needed to draw landscapes， such as surfaces and textures， composition， clouds， or trees and bushes。The book presents itself with great graphics and design。 Tips and additional instructions are included throughout the book。 They are a great help for the budding artist。 It is helpful and inspirational for beginning （and advanced） artists who are wanting to draw landscapes。 It would make a nice gift and I would recommend it for them。 Readers need to be aware that it is a basic book， index and information where the needed materials can be bought are missing。 It is also important to know that the book only touches drawing with graphite pencil， drawing with colored pencils is not included in the book。The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge。 I was under no obligation to offer a positive review。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。#DrawingLandscapesWithWilliamFPowellt#NetGalley 。。。more

🏞 أين كنت عن رسم الطبيعة ؟ ما أجملها و ما أجمل دراستها كتاب مختصر لكنه أفادني كثيراً في الأساسيات كالضوء و الظل و الأبعاد و في جلب إحساس أعمق للمشهد 。 أُفضل تبسيط الفن و الابتعاد عن التعقيد و هذا تماماً ما وجدته هنا。
