Drawing Landscapes in Pencil Review: Excellent book on impressionistic landscape drawing - This is an excellent book on drawing. Just try to reproduce one of his drawings and you will quickly realize he is master. Drawing any one of his scenes is very instructive, what he puts in, what he leaves out, how he gets a great effect with only two or three pencil values. I've been drawing for years and was getting a little bored with my own style. I've tried to learn the "pencil painting" style that Petrie uses before but with little success, but now thanks to Petrie I finally got it. His style is a bit more impressionistic than realistic, he draws like you would expect a watercolor painter to draw, lots of white space, suggesting detail rather than explicitly putting in details. I wasn't surprised to find out that his other book is a watercolor painting book. Even though it deserves five stars, I have a few quibbles. I don't know if he had a lot softer pencils than I do, or the printing process darkened the values in his drawings, but I find I have to use at least two values darker pencil than he does, what he does with 2H and HB I have to do with HB and 2B to get anywhere near the same values. Also in the first part of the book he doesn't show any of the photo references of what he drew from,so you are basically reproducing his lines without seeing the original reference, which feels a little weird to me. Perhaps it is deliberate to help us students focus on what he is doing. Still, if you follow his drawing yours will look great. Later on in the book he does show the photo references and describe how he adjusted the scene in his drawing, which is very helpful. These are just small things, though, overall this is one of the best drawing books I have run across, and I've looked at a lot of them. Jack Hamm's book on landscape drawing is also very helpful in understanding the components of a landscape composition. Review: A good instructional art book for any artist. - I watched a review of this book and knew I had to have it. I purchased it used, but would gladly have paid for a new one. The seller did mention that it had some damage to the cover, but the book itself was in good condition. The author, Ferdinand Petrie, gives basic techniques, then moves on to applying them to trees, mountains, rocks, buildings, and water. The last 50 pages are examples of his own work. This is a valuable addition to my collection of instructional art books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,392,912 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #47 in Landscape & Seascape Art #54 in Landscape Painting #108 in Pencil Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (111) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.4 x 11 inches | | Edition | Reprint ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1626543860 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1626543867 | | Item Weight | 1.04 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 146 pages | | Publication date | February 5, 2016 | | Publisher | Echo Point Books & Media | ## Images ![Drawing Landscapes in Pencil - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lyg-0qNaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book on impressionistic landscape drawing *by M***R on June 1, 2013* This is an excellent book on drawing.

It is an awesome book, filled with incredibly useful tips. I got the softcover edition and thinking about buying the hardcover because it is just that good. I don't think the style of the drawings of this book are meant to display super realistic detailed rendering; the style feels a lot like painting with a pencil and lends itself to further explain the theory in the book. You can stop and look at the whole composition, the values, and go even deeper and see what strokes were made for a certain texture and the best thing is that it is all in pencil! which I draw with all the time before getting all fancy with my laptop and cool software. I'd say this is a book for a beginner/intermediate, the author assumes that the student already knows how light works, different types of shadows, where is the light source is, how value works to create volume, etc... but does a wonderful job breaking down strokes to convey texture, which has made my drawings look a lot better! All in all, it's a fantastic book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drawing Landscapes in Pencil - Landscape Drawing in Pencil (Dover Art Instruction) - A Better Approach to Pencil Drawing (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/37646964-drawing-landscapes-in-pencil](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/37646964-drawing-landscapes-in-pencil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
