Landscape.is... Development of perception


There are almost limitless numbers of ways for a subject to be viewed but if you want to learn something from it then often the best way is to look at it through the eyes of someone more experienced than yourself. Drawing is no different and it is often invaluable to the development of your drawing style to first study how great artists record similar subject material and attempt to emulate it in your own work. In so doing you will discover how well their methods work for you and begin to peice together your own. It is also often usefull to attempt to copy their work as this leads you by necessity to discover how they achieved the effects they have in their work and to develop your own variations of them.
