Description: Join the legions of artists who have depicted harbors and boats in their work as you learn how to interpret these popular subjects in pencil on paper. Advice on conveying sightlines and horizons, definition, shadows, and reflections, and mood and atmosphere provides an introduction to elementary skills and techniques. Whether it's a busy harbor scene, a ship's masts and riggings, a line of boats tied to the dock, or a port a dawn, you can sketch it by "framing" the subject, judging size and distance, establishing a vanishing point, and using darker tones. Plenty of sketches illustrate the suggestions and techniques. Don't let that flotilla of sailboats pass you by without drawing it first!
