My field sketchbooks have been sourced and priced to encourage you to make an absolute mess. Curl it up and stick it in your back pocket, stand your coffee on it, spill ink, bend the pages… It’s designed to be carried everywhere… In your handbag, or coat pocket. The more dog eared it becomes, the more you’ll cherish it. Start your art journey here and look back fondly at the mess you made and the things you’ve learnt from it.

Rather than take your phone out at the bus stop, grab your pad and trace the beautiful shapes of an elderly lady’s hat or when you’re waiting in the car scribble draw that old fashioned lamppost over the road. Creativity is the ability to play with patterns, it’s trial and error. What happens if I put that there, and this here… Everyone is creative, you just have to give yourself permission to explore.
