Sketchbook Sailor

I took no camera on my two month sailing trip last year but came back with two full sketchbooks and a story to tell. From Galapagos to Easter Island and round Cape Horn to the Falkland on board Dutch sailing ship 'Tecla', we experienced the beauty and power of the Pacific and Southern Ocean.

Every day I filled a page or two of my sketchbook journal and all the pages are here, reflecting the challenges and joys of painting at sea.

ONE LINE AT A TIME: Why drawing is good for you and how to do it

If you'd tried to draw and got stuck, or if you've always wanted to learn but think that drawing is only something that 'artists' do, then this is for you.

All the basic techniques that I teach in my workshops are here, along with plenty of encouragement and reasons to keep going.

Above all, drawing is a natural, enjoyable, human thing to do and this book will help you make it part of your life.
