Plein Air: Sketches, Drawings, Studies: Educational Manual

The book examines the scientific-methodological and artistic-creative aspects of making sketches, drawings, and studies in plein air conditions from life, from memory, from imagination, and from conception. The main principles of working in plein air, outlined in the educational manual, contribute to the development of visual thinking, volumetric-spatial representations, and the formation of skills in working with various artistic materials. The text is illustrated with methodological and creative works of the author, as well as educational works of students carried out during plein air practices in different years. The educational manual is intended for students of higher educational institutions studying under the UGSN 54.00.00 Fine and Applied Arts, and may also be of interest to students of art-profile educational institutions and anyone who loves visual art.
