Book Overview

Mary Seymour presents drawing as a practice of close observation. The opening sections encourage readers to sketch regularly, use a sketchbook, experiment with materials, and work directly from subjects such as rooms, doors, furniture, plants, people, pets, and buildings.

The guide then addresses the practical problems of drawing interiors and larger structures. Its contents cover perspective, composition, objects seen from different angles, complicated scenes, size and scale, scaffolding, building out from the centre, surfaces and textures, suggested colour, light and shade, large buildings, people in public buildings, and sketching as a record.

The book is relevant to readers who want to study interior drawing, architectural sketching, and the process of translating observed spaces into lines, tones, and compositions.
