Sketching Outdoors by Barry Herniman will help you discover the joy of painting outside. Join Barry and pack up your favourite materials, drop your painting inhibitions and step outside - ready to sketch. This book is jam-packed with fun, friendly and practical advice and tips that will encourage you to begin painting outside.
In this title Barry answers some burning questions, like what should I take? Where should I go? What medium should I use? Where can I find inspiration? It's a book that you'll find yourself referencing over and over again. It is full of inspiring paintings, as well as five demonstrations for you to work along with. Learn how to create a coastal scene in pen and ink, a countryside panorama in watercolour, a quintessential English village in gouache, a twnscape in line and watercolour wash and trees in watercolour pencils.
In all of the demos it is clear that Barry finds joy in painting in the great outdoors - something that is sure to inspire you too! His contagious enthusiasm will encourage you to absorb your surroundings, be aware of your senses and capture each moment in a sketch. He examines the challenges and opportunities you'll face and teaches you to understand the importance of the sketchbook. Learn to move beyond peer pressure, shake off your expectations and enter the exhilarating world of sketching outdoors.
