Submitted by princebooks on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 4:01pm
The Art of Urban Sketching is both a comprehensive guide and a showcase of location drawings by artists around the world who draw the cities where they live and travel. Authored by the founder of the nonprofit organization Urban Sketchers, this beautiful, 320-page volume explains urban sketching within the context of a long historical tradition and how it is being practiced today. With profiles of leading practitioners, including Norfolk's own Walt Taylor, this inspiring book shows how one can participate and experience this creative outlet through modern-day social networks and online activity.
Walt Taylor's work has appeared in the Virginian Pilot, alt-daily, and numerous other publications. He can often be found at Elliot's Fairgrounds in Ghent, and keeps a blog of his sketches at squarespace.
