Claudia Myatt believes that keeping a sketchbook diary is for everyone, not just for artists. “Sketching enhances your life - it helps you to slow down, appreciate and connect with your surroundings. Whether you’re drawing boats or birds, people or places, the world will transform into a series of fascinating shapes, patches of colour, light and dark.”

This delightful selection from Claudia’s recent sketchbooks and travel diaries also contains a series of mini-lessons and tips that will give you the essential confidence to make a start - and change your thinking from “I could never do that” to “I could do that”.
