A new book of drawings….

I’ve just listed across on my Etsy shop, a brand new book of drawings, selected ( or curated if we’re being posh) from the last ten years. You can find it by clicking on the Etsy link at the right of this……

This book has more pages than previous ones, and on better paper, hence the (very) slight price differential.

I usually print a new book annually in time for the Staithes Festival of art, but as that has sadly been permanently cancelled, I brought my book forward and had to think of a new theme:

I’ve actually been drawing for much longer than the ten years suggested by the title of this collection, but it seemed like a suitable marker for a new book of drawings:  it’s coming up to a decade since my lifelong drawing habit blossomed into something quite unexpected, when I suddenly found myself being asked to run workshops and demos, to stand up in front of other artists, spout pearls of wisdom and knowledge – in other words, to teach! I’m amazed at and grateful for the experiences that this has led to: meeting groups of keen artists up and down the land; connecting with a global audience via social media ( between the various platforms and YouTube, I somehow seem to have amassed over 38,000 followers!); featured in several magazines, and even a couple of appearances on the telly box!

  1. Hello John,
    I’ve booked on your Workshop on 2nd April at Tennants. Am so looking forward to it, but am a bit anxious about the drawing, I’m rubbish! Can you give me any advice or links to any Drawing for Idiots please. I want to make the most of the day as it’s my 70th birthday present.
    Many thanks, Janet
    PS your new book looks fab
