The act of field sketching allows us to experience the landscape first-hand ndash; rather than reliance upon plans; maps and photographs at a distance; back in the studio. Aimed primarily at landscape architects; Janet Swailes takes the reader on a journey through the art of field sketching; providing guidance and tips to develop skills from those starting out on a design course; to those looking to improve their sketching. ?Combining techniques from landscape architecture and the craft and sensibilities of arts practice; she invites us to experience sensations directly out in the field to enrich our work: to look closely at the effects of light and weather; understand the lie and shapes of the land through travel and walking; and to consider lines of sight from the inside out as well as outside in. Full colour throughout with examples; checklists and case studies of other sketchersrsquo; methods; this is an inspirational book to encourage landscape architects to spend more time in the field and reconnect with the basics of design through drawing practice.
