Other editions of book Sketching Outdoors in Autumn by Jim Arnosky

When Jim Arnosky set out, sketchbook in hand, to capture autumn, he searched beyond the spectacular but familiar display of colorful leaves. Hiking in the forested mountains north of his home, he was rewarded with a wild, robust, often raw season alive with subjects for sketching.Animals shaped the artist's rugged hunt for autumn, and he saw evidence of them everywhere he went. There were moose tracks and bear signs and a fox's half-eaten prey--and sometimes an actual animal to be sketched on the spot. The animals also shaped the artist's "wild viewpoint", which he retained as he sketched on his way back from the mountains.In a book of sincere, hearty commentary, encouraging "drawing thoughts", and remarkable illustrations, the creator of Drawing from Nature and Drawing Life in Motion once again communicates his unique approach to the natural world. His joy at drawing outdoors in autumn will captivate and inspire artists of all ages, no matter what the season.
