SEARCH FOR A LOCATION, PAINTING, OR ANYTHING ELSE

Art book, ideas for Christmas.

 Artist's sketchbook featuring the Yorkshire Wolds, by John Geekie.

I have been painting and sketching landscapes for many years and have been asked about publishing some of my sketches. Here is a simple book, printed to represent a sketchbook with over seventy pages of double page spreads. It is a high quality book with laminated cover and shrink wrapped  thus ensuring pristine quality. I have left my shorthand colour notes on most of the sketches which will be of interest to plein air artists, landscape artists in particular. It also will interest Wolds Way walkers who will recognize some of the places. These sketches are mainly from a concertina sketchbook, the views being four pages wide. They have been proportionally reduced to fit the A5 landscape format. Full colour throughout. 
 
I am working on a more comprehensive book which will feature original paintings in oil and those completed using an ipad. Look out for it. 

This book of sketches has a limited edition of 200 which includes free copies for local school libraries as well as some complimentary copies for people met when at the various sites. 
 

Available from my online shop. 

Also, you can see a very short video of the book, see below,
