Barton BeachesBrush pen and watercolour, 201242 x15cm (16 x 6in)
Becton Bunny BeachBlack pencil, 198621 x 58cm (8 x 22in)My aim in this book is to introduce you to a stimulating new approach to drawing that combines mark-making with inspiration taken from drama and dance. It will offer you a radical change in the way you look, think and draw, so I hope the book will encourage you to pick up a sketchbook and pencil and really go for it.Today we live in a world of ever-decreasing attention spans and demands for high-speed responses which make it increasingly difficult for us to find the time to refresh our senses through observational drawing and reflection. However, if you are willing to create the necessary space, you will reap the benefits. In the following pages I would like to share with you the value that can be found by keeping a sketchbook: taking time out and stopping to consider, to look, and then to really see.Many of the illustrations I have used were created spontaneously, catching a moment in time or made in a period of reflection. It has been my aim to encourage students to nurture their skills through observational drawing, and on many occasions they have said that my sketches look like finished artworks. So I invite you to collect your pencils, pens, paper or iPad and take part in a new and exciting way to draw.

Avebury, Wiltshire Stone CircleColoured pencil, 198621 x 29cm (8 x11in)
Salisbury Cathedral Close2B pencil, 198621 x 29cm (8 x11in)This chapter will show how a sketchbook can become a travelling companion with which to share memories, or simply an archive in which to store your findings and meditations.Back and forth went the chunky wax crayons clenched in little fists, making marks all over the paper no time to stop, only to change colours again and again, densely layering the paper. Neither child could say what the marks were meant to represent, but neither did they care they were just excited to have made a drawing.Most children have had drawing books in which to tell stories, remember things or just play. Sadly, at the age of eight or nine they start to become dissatisfied with their drawings because they wrongly assume that they should be accurate representations of reality. What a mistake, for at that moment a very special instinct starts to wither and could eventually die. Those who survive this stage go on to become more confident in their ability to draw, making it a life-long hobby or even their way of making a living.

For centuries, both urban and rural environments worldwide have been marked with graffiti expressing someones desire to be noticed and remembered: I was here! This graffiti is from Gloucester Cathedral and a forest oak.Mark-making is a basic human instinct our natural way to interpret or describe what we see, indicating that our senses are indeed alive and responding to our environment.Whenever youre out walking, carry your sketchbook in your hand as this allows you to make an instant record of whatever catches your eye.
