Excellent Instruction Guide
I have been following British artist, Peter Cronin, for several years (I'm also British), especially his watercolours, so was thrilled when I learned he was publishing this sketching book. I am not disappointed! This book is jam-packed with pictures and easy-to-follow instructions and sketches. Shows the process of starting a sketch to finished pictures, which are a pleasure just to look at in themselves. I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in sketching outdoors, not just beginners.
