Professional architect and urban sketcher Liz Steel provides expert tips and inspiring sketches to help you learn to 'read' buildings and capture them on paper. Relish the challenge of recording urban spaces - from the domestic to the majestic - in just five minutes!

This book can help artists of all abilities, especially novices, to understand and reproduce real-life perspective in their drawings.

It is an ideal introduction to a rewarding pastime and a new source of inspiration for experienced and lapsed sketchers.
