Prints of BEVERLEY Minster And ART books by John Geekie.

   

I love this print. It shows Beverley Minster across an open field, Hallgate, often used in the summer to graze cattle. A wonderful bucolic scene reminding us of a time past when the Minster was more closely linked to the farming community reinforcing its Market Town associations. This is a pen and ink sketch made at the site, I stood with an A3 piece of Bristol card, very smooth and ideal for pen and ink. Later, I added a watercolour wash. I remember the yellow van passing and quickly added it. Printed on A3 paper which will fit a standard A3 frame or, it looks good in a larger A2 frame with a suitable mount.

Also, this beautiful print made from a special watercolour painting.

Both prints are available by emailing me - see above.

Also, here are a couple of my art books.

Exquisite art book, a world first?

This FIRST EDITION book details both how to sketch and add a watercolour wash using a concertina sketchbook. It is comprehensively illustrated throughout.

After much researching this may well be the world’s first instruction book which explains how to sketch with a concertina sketchbook. That aside, it shows, in detail, how to create wide, panoramic sketches. It guides the reader through the practical issues, going on to explore and develop ‘how we see’. This SUMPTUOUS book contains over a hundred illustrations in full colour. It will appeal to anyone who loves the countryside. The book has over 400 pages, it is A5 landscape layout with a limited print run. Each painting is accompanied by a detailed description including location and relevant notes. 

As the author and publisher of this book it will be available directly from me from April 6th.

Please  EMAIL if you would like a copy, each book will be signed and include any dedications, if indeed required. 

As my online shop is not open at the moment, payment can be made directly to me or by bank transfer, details will be sent via email. £35 incl UK p+p

This is a unique, supremely desirable publication.
