The past month or so I've been trying to find time to read my new book, Artist's Sketchbook, Exercises and Techniques for Sketching on the Spot, by Cathy Johnson. Quite a name, isn't it? I finally read it last week. As you've probably noticed by now, I have a thing for books about using sketch journals. The small drawings and the words that accompany them are an interesting art form of their own.
So- this book is probably my favorite of the genre. Johnson's work has appealed to me for years as she has a light hand and good eye for perspective that I admire. Simplifying a subject doesn't mean you have to sacrifice detail, which I think is Johnson's speciality. If you're looking for a book you'll pull out and use again and again for ideas and inspiration, give this one a go.
Thanks for stopping by! Alice
