In this step-by-step introduction to composition, the author guides budding artists to focus on basic drawing techniques. And "the short road to success" begins with a brush. Starting with simple lines, then moving on to landscape elements — from clouds and trees to castles and cottages — Richmond offers exercises to train the eyes and hand to work together.
