Book launch - Line and Wash in the Urban Landscape

Two and a bit years later after initially starting the journey of writing  I am proud to announce the pre-order availability of my new book, 'Line and Wash in the Urban Landscape'. It's been a challenging few years personally and my love of sketching and drawing has kept me sane and given me some much needed focus. 

The book is deliberately focused on a fair balance of theory and reportage sketching with commentary around my thought processes. Personally I never could entirely relate to theory heavy instructional books and simply wanted to dip in and out of a book and get under the skin of what an artist was thinking. This is very much the essence of what I have aimed to do. 'Line and Wash in the Urban Landscape' is built around developing loose, rhythmic sketching that delivers originality over architectural perfection. 

Huge thanks go to the publishing team at Searchpress. Pre orders are now available (just in time for Christmas) at all major booksellers including Amazon and Penguin 

Exhibiting at The Holt Gallery

Very proud to share the news of being invited to be feature as part of the Cross Roads exhibition at the The Gallery Holt. The urban landscape themed exhibition featured a range of artists who focus on architectural subjects.

An exhibition of original paintings of the urban landscape. Over half of the worlds’ population, some 4.2 billion inhabitants*, live in our cities around the world. This exhibition will focus on inspirational and diverse architecture which can be found in some of the most recognisable locations around the world.

Five original pieces are available to see and purchase at the event and online

Urban sketching Inspiration book

My first dive into printed books has premiered with a small book of inspiration. The Thirty six page A5 book features a collection of printed works lifted directly from my ongoing sketchbooks. Designed as purely a visual inspiration, each sketch shows my fast and fluid painting style and lots of line work, so characteristic of my style. 

This book was offered as an exclusive at the 2023 Swiss Urban Sketchers Symposium in Zurich.
