In this video I take you through some of my art books that I draw inspiration from - and return to time and time again. I made a Top 5 which are the books I usually have near my studio easel as constant companions.
My Top 5 Books (at the moment) are:
1. Peter Poskas 'Illuminated landscape'
2. Al Gury 'Alla Prima'
3. Fred Cuming 'Another figure in the landscape'
4. Joan Eardley 'Land & Sea - a life in Catterline'
5. Richard Diebenkorn 'Art of Richard Diebenkorn'

Really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing Andrew! Also a big fan of Diebenkorn so I was happy to see that in your top 5. The big scoop for me is John Brockley, I did not know of him before and looked up his books and his work - amazing, I am going to enjoy that for some time. And also a huge fan of LAOTY so am excited to see you in this year's competition when it finally airs!!

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Thank you very much James. If you like watercolours John Blockley is a good artist to learn from. Diebenkorn is something different and I love his style. Hopper is another who I really like

Hi Andrew ... nice to see what art books inspire your creativity ... I particularly like Joan eardley and Cummings I can see alot of their influence in your paintings ... Also i think Turner was a great artist that you have a similar style to and there are some good books on him ...thank you for sharing your books!

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Nancy I really like Turner. I will do a similar video in a year’s time and we’ll see if my top 5 is different as I add more to my collection 😃

Great selection Andrew I have a few John Blockley books and a couple of Joan Eardley but didn't manage to get a book by Fred Cuming but I do have two Dvd's by him that I play over and over what a great man and artist Fred was.

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Hi Keith Sounds like our tastes are the same. I also have those dvds by Fred and constantly learn from them

I can't say I have a 'Top 5' favourite art books, but I would thoroughly recommend: Andrew Wyeth Autobiograpy (introduction by Thomas Hoving) and the two Edward Seago books, by Ron Ranson (both are quite expensive now). They have to be my three most worn out art books.

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the recommendations. It’s really difficult to choose 5 out of so many great books

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Yes Roland could easily have made it to number 6. Maybe even into the top 5 if I was doing more watercolour

Hi Andrew ! I don't know why my comment was not sent. I repeat thank you for this useful and pleasant video. I love Fred Cuming paintings, he is very inspiring. And now because of your video I am very attracted by Joan Earley. I appreciate also to discover the book alla prima. Now I want your book maybe coming soon to the market. Is the portrait photography by Madeleine? It's a beautiful portrait. I know that she is skillfull at photography. My best wishes to you 🙏✨

@AndrewBarrowmanArt 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jasmine Thank you so much 😊 I hope you can find some books by these amazing artists. Lots of inspiration here Madeleine didn’t do the photography in my book but she is very capable 😃
