A lovely book which gives detailed instruction together with lots of inspiration.
Tools and materials are covered along with numerous tips on making a sketch your own. Ways of bending the rules to make a quirky and charming drawing are given and numerous examples show how changes of colour can transform the outcome of a sketch.
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. I will definitely be buying my own copy.

I learned so much from this! The sketches and finished drawings/paintings are phenomenal, and Kiefer breaks down each step for you. He mentions art supplies throughout the book, but if you miss something, all of his recommendations are listed at the end of the book. I love Kiefer’s, and I also think my oldest would be interested in learning how to house sketch. Additionally, the author has added tutorials that you can access by scanning certain pages.

Pick this up in August!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-Quarry for an advance copy! I am writing this review voluntarily.

This was my first house-sketching book, from what I remember, and I have long wanted to sketch buildings.
The book has everything you need to learn house-sketching, step-by-step guides, tips, insights, pictures etc.

To be perfectly honest, the styles of the sketches were not perfectly to my personal taste, but I am mentioning it because despite that, I found this book to be absolutely well-written, insightful and informative.
