A sketching classic

I had this book years ago, loaned it out, never got it back. Only one better, and it's by the same author "The Sketch in Color". These two gave me a quantum leap in my indoor and outdoor sketching, especially with pen and ink and watercolor (although the books cover well other drawing media, and painting media). If you're into sketching and want to get better, these books will provide excellent instruction, examples of technique, and a host of beautiful sketches.
