A Sinhala-language practical guide to drawing physical objects from observation — the discipline of looking at the things around you and setting them down on paper at a proper scale and with correct form. In Sinhala art teaching this skill is known as dravya sampindanaya, object study, and it is one of the foundations laid early in a student's training.
Sathsara Ilangasinghe's book is built around that skill, which supports much of the drawing work that follows it. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, so a reading knowledge of the language is needed. For art students working within the Sri Lankan syllabus, for teachers, and for Sinhala-reading artists abroad who want material on object drawing in their own language, it will be straightforward to use.
