This is a book about drawing a wide variety of classic landscape subjects in both line and tone and using pens, pencils, pastels and charcoal.

Intended for those with some experience of drawing media, it bypasses the basic mark-making techniques and Margaret instead gets down to business with Working From Photographs and Using Sketchbooks.

You're into exercises and projects very quickly and will find yourself exploring line and tone and perspective in easy-to-follow demonstrations that work from real-life subjects.

All the way through, the emphasis is on the practical and Margaret works from actual scenes that allow you to compare your work with a starting, rather than a finishing, point.

Subjects include Trees & Foliage, Hills & Mountains, Skies, Flowers, Water and Buildings.

The book works by example and every page is filled with sketches and drawings.

This is a thorough guide that promises and provides a great deal and should progress your skills a long way.
