Rome Sketchbook (Sketchbooks)

beautifully illustrated ,can look at it and each time see something different

I have purchased almost all of Fabrice Moireau's sketchbooks, I love them all but Rome Sketchbook is one of his best.I consider his strong pencil drawings combined with watercolour better than photographs.His books are a source of constant delight I would recommend them to anyone interested in sketching and watercolour.

I visited Rome and the book was purchased as a reminder of the places we saw.

Some lovely sketches

Beautiful.

excellent

The media could not be loaded.  This is Fabrice Moireau's sketchbook for 2011, covering Rome. It's in similar format as his other sketchbooks, except  Rooftops of Paris (Sketchbooks)  which is vertical format. It's still 96 pages, hardcover printed with paper textured like watercolour.The art is beautiful, as usual. Charming watercolours with crisp pencil lines, and a few ink sketches. He covers some of the tourists spots as well as the less crowded and unknown areas. You'll see the many big and small water fountains scattered around, the Pantheon, Colosseum, The Arch of Titus, the ruins mixed with buildings, markets, or even a museum that was converted from a slaughterhouse. This is an interesting book that presents the different sides of Rome.It's an inspiring collection of sketches that is sure to delight. Makes you want to go out and sketch after flipping a few pages. Definitely one of my favourite art books for 2011.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
