A Word From the Author:

"In this digital age, using pencil or watercolor to sketch seems outdated. Sketching, though, is still the best and cheapest way to learn how to draw and design. A computer, no matter how advanced, can’t help you learn better than pencil and paper can. Your skills and abilities can improve infinitely through practice. You don’t need high-end, fancy equipment to become a master draftsman, designer or artist, but you do need practice, hard work and a mind filled with ideas and desire. Great ideas start as simple sketches, and from them, great things come." — David R. Becker

What a View!

You should plan every painting you do by sketching the scene before putting brush to paper. You also should plan your sketches before putting pencil to paper by creating good compositions. It may take a few thumbnail sketches before you find a good one, but if you pay no need to composition, your paintings will show it no matter how much sketching you do.

Always carry a viewfinder when sketching outdoors or painting plein air. They’re pretty easy to manufacture on the spot; it just takes two hands! Any other object that creates a small box or rectangle to view and frame a live subject also can serve as a viewfinder. I use a cardboard slide holder. It’s small, lightweight and easy to use. The viewfinder on any camera also works well.

A viewfinder crops a scene to fit the rectangle dimension that makes a well-composed picture. When outdoors, you’ll find there is too much to take in, and the task of capturing the scene on paper easily can become overwhelming. A viewfinder brings the scene back to a simple, four-sided picture that is easier to comprehend.
