Clear, punchy, packed with illustrations and information, Your Sketchbook Your Self is the essential tool to inspire creativity in students, teachers and aspiring artists alike.

Written by a leading gallery educator, who is herself an artist, the book is illustrated both with pages from the author's sketchbook and examples from the sketchbooks of many well-known artists, both historic and contemporary, including Turner, Picasso, David Hockney and Cornelia Parker.

Here, for the first time, is all the advice, support and inspiration needed to start and maintain a sketchbook.
