Step-by-Step Guide: Drawing a Field Sketch at RSPB Pulborough Brooks
The following instructions have been written to support the
learning of students visiting RSPB Pulborough Brooks. The drawings
have been done using WORD, not a pencil!
Jackie Day, RSPB Education officer
How to draw a field sketch
Draw 2 lines lightly, approximately dividing the page equally into 3
parts.
Looking at the landscape view draw in the HORIZON using the top
line as a guide. Draw what you can see in the far distance e.g. hills
Draw in the “middle ground” from the horizon. Remember, the
nearer something is the more detail you can see.
Draw in the “nearest land” using the lowest guideline to help you.
Draw in anything that you can see!
If it doesn’t look like what it should then label it.
