The Art Of Sketching From Nature
The Art of Sketching from Nature is an 1852 instructional drawing manual by Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, with plates illustrated by Rowbotham and George Dalziel, aimed at amateur sketchers learning landscape and architecture drawing. The plates are pen-and-ink and graphite landscape studies: a roadside house with a carriage, a lane with a horse and cart, a half-timbered cottage drawn over a measured grid, and a mountain stream with a stone bridge and travellers. A designer could take their clear linear shading, horizon compositions, and structured perspective grids as reference for hand-drawn scenery.
