Sketching From Nature In Water-Colours: With Illustrations In Chromo-Lithography After Original Water-Colour Drawings
Sketching From Nature In Water-Colours is an 1885 instruction book by Aaron Penley, held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at amateur artists learning landscape painting outdoors. Its chromo-lithographed plates reproduce original water-colour drawings in soft, oval-framed views. The single picture shows a ruined stone tower on a bank beside water, with a tall tree and loose green foliage, a model for designers wanting gentle, vignetted landscape motifs with a sketchy, watercolour texture.
