What the guide covers


This guide is about a sketch I started at Kew Gardens and completed at home.  It covers:
  • how to get used to a place and find a view to sketch
  • how to use your camera as a tool and to collect reference photographs
  • developing my version of a thumbnail sketch;
  • how to consider and select colours;
  • developing a sketch - working plein air and
  • finishing - working back home / in the studio.
