Travelling With a Sketchbook: A Guide to Carry on a First Sketching Holiday (Mary Adshead) (1966)

A guide to drawing out of doors for the beginner whose interest has been aroused as well as for the more experienced who is unused to working away from the studio. Details are given of the minimum equipment required, the various pens, pencils and crayons obtainable and how to use them. There are sections on composition and how to choose your subject, how to train yourself to be observant, selective and swift, on the use of elementary perspective as well as how to tolerate the weather. Condition: dust-wrapper shows some slight chipping loss to head and tail of spine. Slight foxing to fore-edge of half-title page, otherwise fine.
