Excerpt from The Art of Sketching From Nature
Many students possessing a certain degree of skill in the use of the lead pencil and chalk are, for want of acquaintance with the necessary rules, entirely at a loss when attempting to commence a landscape sketch from nature; the principal difficulties they experience being, to determine Where to begin the sketch, and how much of the subject before them they ought to include within the limits of the paper.
Attention to the precepts contained in the following pages, will, it is hoped, clear away these, and many other difficulties, that obstruct the essay of the sketcher.
