Ashley Jackson's Watercolour Sketches is a well curated selection of landscape watercolours and a nice glimpse inside the artist's sketchbook. Due out 30th Oct 2019 (but possibly delayed) from Pen & Sword, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is a nice selection of annotated sketches. The artist has a warm and personal style of writing in the annotations which feel more like a conversation over a pint than anything else. He often describes the weather at the time of the painting, or about features of the countryside or about the composition itself.

This would make a lovely gift for an artist or for studying in one's own painting and sketching.

Five stars. A valuable and illuminating glimpse inside the artistic composition and process.

This beautiful book becomes a beautiful meditation when you are sitting alone with it! A beautiful, lovely gem! I highly recommend! Get this for yourself and give as a gift!

An interesting insight into the stages of producing a painting and finding places of interest to produce a full painting from. I am familiar with the artists paintings and often pass by his gallery so I know how beautiful, atmospheric and detailed his completed Yorkshire landscape paintings are. This book gave me an insight into how they begin and the places in the county that have stolen his heart. After reading this book and looking at the sketches I would recommend looking up some of the artists completed, and famous paintings to get a real understanding of what he is all about. Better still visit the gallery in Holmfirth. A lovely book and one to treasure.

This is a beautiful book. The watercolour sketches are so simple yet so intricate. I love the style of sketching with the soft watercolours set to them.

Each brief description gives a little extra insight into the sketches. It was like a small tour through the eyes of the artist.
