Volume 2 in the Sketching "on the go" Series - The Canal du Midi.

Join professional artist Allan Kirk as he explores sketching opportunities beside this world famous French waterway.

In a former life as a teacher (of art) Allan spent years helping students produce work they could be proud of. Believing in setting realistic objectives for his students, he helps them develop and continuously improve at their own pace and in their individual style. He draws upon decades of experience as he now guides artists through his worldwide workshops and, online, via his excellent website as they seek inspiration outdoors

In this his second book he builds upon the success of his Venice publication as he slips in advice and encouragement for anyone wishing to explore the Canal du Midi by boat, foot, bicycle or even car. As this once important trading link weaves its way from Toulouse in the west to the Mediterranean in the east Allan once again empathises with those who might at first be overwhelmed by the vistas offered. His tips and suggestions on selecting what to sketch, how to put your mind into gear before starting . . . and most importantly, how to reproduce what you see before you rather what your brain guesses it is seeing (and often gets wrong) Allan ensures you have the best chance of capturing through sketches the delights this delightful region of France offers. This is a book all artists will treasure
