This new third book of superb sketches by Ian Stuart Campbell features a new collection of drawings done in studio during the lockdown and socially restricted times of the Covid 19 pandemic.
These new larger more detailed colour sketches were developed in the studio from quick drawings and notes in sketch books by the artist previously done on site. In an exercise of considering “where we would rather be” while we were continually confronted by politicians advising us to 'stay at home’ this collection of images offers an optimistic outlook with special places to visit once we are back to travelling more freely around Europe. Colours includes original B&W sketches and notes by the author on each distinctive place.
"...Campbell's sketches are precise but also fluid, and vary interestingly in style, depending on the impression he is trying to convey…" Keith Bruce, The HERALD”
…...each of his drawings is a testimony to the pure beauty of black and white….." Lisa Orgler, EmptyEasel.com (USA)

'THE ARCHITECTURAL TOURIST' RIAS Publishing …a lovely publication, and a ludicrous bargain at £10. Campbell's sketches are precise but also fluid, and vary interestingly in style, depending on the impression he is trying to convey of a particular building or square, whether he is drawing attention to its architectural grandeur or its social functionality.…" The Herald, Keith Bruce
