The principles and practice of sketching landscape scenery from nature : systematically arranged, and illustrated by numerous examples, from simple and easy subjects, to the more complicated and difficult combinations of objects : in four parts
A landscape sketching manual by J. G. Wood, published in London in 1816 for the use of amateur draughtsmen, teaching the drawing of scenery step by step from nature. The plates show trees in pen and pencil, plus perspective studies of cottages and terraced houses receding along a street. A designer could take from them the foliage massing, the contrast of dense leafy crowns against bare trunks, and the clear linear method of building up shadow with hatching.
