Daniel Lombardo - Library Journal
Artist and teacher Newey provides a handy resource for creating realistic illustrations of both historic and contemporary buildings. He explores common surfaces like brick, stucco, and wood plank; the design aspects of houses, churches, castles, and modern corporate structures; and how best to capture details of windows, doors, and rooftops. His chosen media include crayon, pencil, pastel, and watercolor. A fine general reference for all levels of artists, especially if paired with Gary Greene's Artists Photo Reference: Buildings and Barns.
