Landscape is multidisciplinary and complex and requires a comprehensive approach to its analysis, which necessarily involves the study of how it is perceived (European Landscape Convention, 2000). In this sense, the subjective paradigm, as defined by Lothian (1999), maintains that the aesthetic sense of place depends on the interaction between landscape and observer, which is why there is a need to generate tools to study this dimension.This paper proposes various graphic strategies that can be useful when representing the perception of landscape, highlighting those that consider its subjective aspects, giving rise to a complete vision of the landscape that surrounds us, whether natural or urban. In this way, an overview is made of different graphic mechanisms, from the most figurative to the most abstract, including ‘serial visions’, the representation of the passage of time, ‘sensorial cartographies’ and the use of collage as a tool for simplifying the landscape. This generates an operative repertoire for representing landscape, which allows us to understand its perception from multiple facets, creating a holistic vision of the natural and urban landscape.
