Product Description

Drawing the Landscape Second Edition If you want to approach drawing as a means to a better understanding of the natural and built environment and one’s own creative potential, Chip Sullivan’s Drawing the Landscape offers the inspiration and the tools. The Second Edition of this useful book helps you unlock your creative potential, cultivate your own personal form of expression,and prepare professional graphic presentations in landscape architecture and architecture. From quick sketches to highly finished works in various media, Drawing the Landscape presents a broad range of ways to render the natural and the built environment. The book covers the basics of sketching the landscape and achieving convincing perspective drawings, and also introduces innovative freehand drawing techniques that add a more creative dimension to your work. Additionally, it discusses the philosophy of drawing as a method to enhance your observational ability. But this book offers more than technical instruction—its emphasis on individuality and artistic experimentation distinguishes it from other art and design books currently on the market. The author discusses equipment, techniques, tones, textures,and different types of drawing used to compose the landscape, but also recommends drawing practices,such as keeping a daybook, that keep the creative juices flowing. The Second Edition of Drawing the Landscape updates every chapter of the popular First Edition, and features:
  • a new chapter entitled "The Figure in the Landscape"
  • a new color insert
  • freehand perspective techniques
  • more examples of final drawings
  • practical group visualization exercises that facilitate the book’s use in the classroom.
Illustrated with the author’s own highly acclaimed freehand drawings, each chapter of Drawing the Landscape presents practical examples, step-by-step exercises, and suggestions for further reading. The book offers solid advice about preparing design projects for professional competition. Whether you are a landscape architecture professional, architect, designer, artist, illustrator, or student, Drawing the Landscape gives you the skills and confidence to realize your creative potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Tutorial for Improving Your Renderings, Aug 12 2000

This review is from: Drawing the Landscape, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Chip Sulivan's step by step instruction guides the reader to see the underlying structure in each of his renderings. This insight reviels an efficient method of organizing profesional quality landscape plans. His more informal sketchs show how to quickly get a feel for site illustration.

As a landscape design professional, I recomend this book to my peers and to those new to rendering the landscape. I am confident that after studying this text, anyone would be able to better comunicate their designs.

This review is from: Drawing the Landscape, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
i was looking for a book on this subject, the writer the publisher, it all looked perfect. but the book is soooo boring, after reaching a long way into the book you waste your time on artists rooms and clubs!! really! then when we finally start, it is like for ever, the process seems so slow... the book ofcourse is full of the writers own sketches which might not appeal to every one. what you might find here, at this price, you'll find for sure in more cheaper and more focused more useful books. i wouldn't recommend it personally.
