An Essex Sketchbook

Drawn From History: An Essex Sketchbook is not only a celebration of Essex and it’s rich history and architectural heritage, but also an honest diary of my journey as a self-taught watercolour artist.

It features 52 ink and watercolour paintings in chronological order, starting from 2022, and uncovers how my style has evolved over time.

Each artwork is annotated with historical insights, stories and events that have shaped these cherished buildings.

Whether you are a local resident, visitor of Essex or interested in urban sketching, Drawn From History offers a visual journey through Essex’s past. Combining artistic interpretation, historical storytelling and a perfect keepsake of the places we hold dear.

I hope you will find as much joy in this book as I have experienced in making it.
