With the art studio out of bounds while building work is going on, there's not been much painting action going on lately so I thought I'd use the...

The latest of my birthday books to be scrutinised is this one by Rob and Siân Dudley.  It's about, guess what, painting trees.  It's a 176 page...

Ok, let's have one more book review.  This was the first book. I read after the first batch of birthday presents arrived as I was keen to read any...

What with all the doors and windows in the house being replaced this week, I've had too much on to be thinking about to be able to do any painting....

I only discovered this book on Amazon a couple of weeks ago and it didn't last on my wishlist for long.  The style of drawing that it describes is...

Not a Christmas present, this one.  It's a book I've been after a while and that I've been watching out for using the CamelCamelCamel website,...

Here's the review of the second of the three books on coloured pencil that I got for Christmas.  It's a 160 page paperback and is not just about a...

This is one gorgeous looking book.  It's a 192-page hardback and the name of the book in the top right has been embossed.  I can't stop running my...

Now here's a book I've been looking forward to. It's Mitch's second book.  The first got rave reviews but was very oils focused.  This one is...

I first discovered Peter Cronin a few weeks ago when I was watching the first series of the new version of Watercolour Challenge.  It was a...

This book was only published two days ago and I'm already reviewing it.  It was a birthday present from my sister that was expected to be published...

I'd been after this book for a while and got it as a Fathers' Day present.  It's a 192-page paperback with some quite dense text in places so has...

I've had my eye on this book for a while, so ordered it as soon as I'd opened all my presents and the Christmas Amazon furlough was over.  It's a...

This might be the last book review for a while as it's the last of the books from my birthday stash.  It's the James Gurney book that I've heard so...

This 144-page paperback is one of those books that's difficult to categorise.  The title and subtitle on the front page make it sound like it's all...

Now this is interesting.  I just assumed that all books on composition were going to be similar, covering the same sort of stuff.  The only book...

This one had been on my list for a while and was starting to look difficult to find on Amazon, so I had a hunt around and found a website that was...

Time to review the other urban sketching book that I bought on Christmas Day.  This one is a 128 page paperback but feels much longer.  I've only...

I've made it to the end of Bert's book at last.  At 224 pages long, it's huge. The first five chapters were fantastic.  They're on contour...

I was hopeless at drawing just two weeks ago but you'll have seen in my last couple of posts that this has changed and it's all down to this book....
