Features: This book advocates understanding the linguistic essence of painting through practical sketching. It further enhances the perceptual qualities of artistic vision by encouraging learners to rationally reflect on and master the language. Therefore, the demonstration and explanation of sketching techniques are not merely based on considerations of form or representation but also emphasize the pursuit of personalized aesthetic qualities in the expressive language. This approach presents "skill" and "art" as two indispensable aspects of artistic learning and creation, both rationally and intuitively, to the readers. The book is divided into nine parts and forty sections, providing detailed insights into the principles of observing and depicting landscapes and architectural sketches. It serves as a reference for students and teachers in art academies, architecture, urban planning, environmental art, and for all art enthusiasts in both teaching and learning.
