Most of us stop when we get older – but David Gentleman kept going. For over ninety years he has been drawing, painting, engraving and printing, rising to become one of Britain’s best-known and most loved artists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis watercolours have filled galleries; his iconic wood cuts are emblazoned across posters, book jackets and train stations; his stamps have made their way to the furthest corners of the world. Here, the great, polymathic artist and craftsman shares what he has learned over the course of a lifetime of making and thinking about art. Unlike his contemporaries, Gentleman was never a teacher; his lessons are a sequence of unconventional prompts and reflections that will deepen how you think about art and the world around you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSincere, practical and unpretentious, Gentleman’s insights are a breath of fresh air. Here are new ways to focus, notice the world and cultivate your own style; techniques to evolve your work, from playing with time to painting in bad weather; methods for getting the most out of mistakes and negative criticism; and, above all, reminders to return, always, to the simple delights of creativity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardcover \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehed: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUK, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eer: Penguin Books \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 9780241692813\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Gentleman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56576338788683,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9780241692813.jpg?v=1771591595","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/lessons-for-young-artists","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
