A wonderful teaching volume.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 November 2019

This a wonderful reference for those of us who need some help with our sketching.
I have just read the review which said there were no women artists featured.
Rubbish!!!
Women are well represented, including the author, who is an amazing teacher.
Did that reader even turn the first page?
Shame!!!!

Another amazing book by Stephanie Bower.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2019

I've always wanted to draw but was told, many years ago, that you needed to have artistic ability and as most of my friends could draw I never really considered the possibility that I might be able to learn. Then I stumbled on Stephanie Bower's book 'Understanding Perspective' and soon after enrolled on her Blueprint course 'The essientials of Sketchings Architecture'. 101 Sketchings Tips is an amazing book and an excellent companion to the aforementioned course. Apart from the advice to budding artists the contents is a joy to behold and has introduced me to the work a great many artists that were previously unknown to me. If you're concerned about the ridiculous remark made by a previous reviewer that there are no women represented in this book then don't be...or are Stephanie, Sue, katie, Angela, to list but a few actually boys names? This book and the other above mentioned have put me firmly on a very absorbing pastime. Highly recommend.

A gem of a book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is one of a very good series on the subject of urban sketching, and I think this book is the best of the lot.
As the name suggests, it offers a wide range of practical tips which a newcomer to urban sketching will find useful. However, I think its greatest asset is the quality of the sketches in the book, especially those by the author herself. I know that I am unlikely to reach this standard but I find the work inspirational and I am determined to have fun trying. The nice thing about drawing is that you only need a pencil and paper, and if your drawing is not very good you know that the next one will be better

This is an excellent little book in the urban sketchers handbook series, Stephanie Bower is a great great tutor and all of the tips in this book are amazing. The sketches by Stephanie and other sketches really show the tips that she is expressing. I think the book is of value not only to urban sketchers but anyone who likes to draw highly recommended
