For anyone artistically inclined, observing the Moon and attempting
to sketch or paint it can easily become a passion. The Moon
presents a broad array of tone, texture, and form. Capturing this
in a painting or sketch at the eyepiece of a telescope - or even
with binoculars - develops observational skills, leaves a record of
the observation, and can also be a delightful and rewarding
pastime. However, the choice of media available is extensive
(acrylic paint, oils, pen, charcoal, etc., and even computer art
programs), and there is no existing text that fully explains all
lunar sketching and painting techniques in each respective medium.
This beautiful and graphically rich book fulfills this requirement.
It presents detailed step-by-step instructions, in the form of
illustrated tutorials for every major medium employed to represent
the Moon. It also provides practical advice on how to sketch
outdoors at night (not ideal conditions for an artist!). This is
easily the most extensive book on the subject of lunar art for
amateur astronomers, particularly those observing through a
telescope. The diverse features of the lunar surface will attract
and entice readers to review the number of different media
presented, exciting and inspiring them with the possibilities of
learning to depict all of the fascinating aspects of Earth's very
own satellite.
