The evocative power of colour is central to the ways in which art appeals to our senses, emotions and imaginations. This book tells the vibrant story of colour from dazzling gold to cobalt blue, highlighting developments such as the use of rare pigments in medieval altarpieces and the invention of the paint tube that enabled Impressionist artists to work outdoors.

In this, his first practical art book, artist Matthew Rice encourages readers to look at and draw the scenes around them – the desk they are sitting at, the view out the window, a bowl of produce from the supermarket. And it is by truly sitting with and engaging with our everyday world that drawing skills can be learnt and strengthened, confidence built, and a new mindful creative activity developed.

A bunch of spring onions can be a starting point when thinking about shading and form. The view from your kitchen window becomes an exercise in perspective and measuring lines. A vase full of flowers is the perfect subject to develop your skills in detailed drawing and three-dimensional structure.

Little by little, by following the ten step-by-step exercises in the book, readers will build the skills and techniques to approach drawing any scene with confidence and ease.

“To know how to draw, you need to think about how to look, because to draw is to look and report in on what you have seen. As we learn to draw better we also learn to understand better: to analyze, explore and comprehend our world and its inhabitants. The exercise is more than an expression of a desire to decorate, to kill time or amuse. It is in fact a vital and near universal mode of communication that allows us to speak to those with whom we share no other common language.” – Matthew Rice

The significance of printmaking within the history of art is often underplayed, obscured or misunderstood. This book tells the story of artist prints from across the globe in a manner that is accessible and engaging. It demystifies how prints are made-from woodblock to etching-and explores how, throughout history, printmaking has defied easy categorisation, straddling “fine” art practices and commercially minded production. In fact, it has been employed as much for creative experimentation as it has for disseminating information.

Beginning in ancient East Asia and travelling through Renaissance Europe, revolutionary Mexico, and post-Apartheid South Africa, these ten chapters celebrate the interconnected nature of the printed image and its multiple histories, while illuminating the lesser-known players who have been deliberately or erroneously overlooked. Whether formed by slicing linoleum or plunging plates into acid, then distributed via bound books or pasted posters, the print has not just replicated the world, it has shaped it.

With step-by-step guidance, Inga introduces the essential supplies, colour theory  and techniques you’ll need to get started, from washes and glazing to creating texture with salt, dry brush or masking fluid. She then leads you through inspiring projects that explore a wide range of natural and travel subjects, including:

• Water: learn to capture tranquil reflections, rippling movement and the soft transparency of waves using watercolour’s natural fluidity.  
• Mountains: explore light, shadow and rocky textures to create depth and drama in striking mountain scenes.  
• Trees and meadows: practice painting flora, from delicate leaves to lively wildflowers and grasses.  
• Seasons: discover how shifting palettes and moods can bring the atmosphere of each season to life on paper.  
• Travel sketches: try portable, playful approaches to quickly documenting your journeys and everyday surroundings.  

Along the way, you’ll also find advice on composition, drawing  and developing your creative practice, so that your painting becomes not just a skill, but a joyful and mindful habit.  

Illustrated throughout with Inga’s signature gentle style, Painting Landscapes is more than a how-to manual: it’s an invitation to reconnect with nature, nurture your creativity and discover the restorative calm of watercolour. Perfect for anyone drawn to the beauty of the outdoors, this is a guide to return to again and again.  

Drawing helps you see. The more you draw, the more you look, and the more your world opens up.

Many of us feel we can’t draw even though as children we drew unselfconsciously. Artist Sam Marshall believes we are all inherently creative and through her book she invites you into a welcoming workshop where you will develop techniques to help you maintain a regular drawing practice. This is not a ‘how to draw’ book but an encouraging project guide that will support you to sketch and be creative in your own way.

The book starts with a series of warm-up exercises and then leads into a set of challenges divided into chapters that increase in complexity from drawing at home and in green spaces to drawing from paintings. It concludes with a series of more advanced exercises including collage as a means of drawing and working on larger imaginative pieces.

Sam suggests the use of a variety of materials including coloured pencils, felt tips, inks and marker pens. For each exercise she presents her own drawings and observations as well as those from a select group of her students to show that everyone’s mark making is unique.

This is an inspirational guide that will change the way you think and feel about drawing. It will help you to discover the joy of drawing in a sketchbook as a way of looking, reflecting and relaxing.
