Hallo Hans,

vielen Dank für Deine Besuche. Ich bin von Ölpastellen begeistert, man kann soviel damit machen und die Handhabung draußen in der Natur ist so unkompliziert.

Comment on Very chilly February , plein air oil pastel of a tree landscape by Martin

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I think the publishers have cropped images and cleaned the usually worn out sketchbook look a bit to much. Often I got the impression that they were showing single sheets
of artwork rather than pages of a sketchbook. Nevertheless it is a great publication and certainly worthwhile to buy.

hi, i love your blog!

i am also a fan of Kurt Jackson but have yet to pick up a copy of the sketchbooks. i was wondering what you meant about the images being too technically refined? is it a comment on the looseness of technique etc or a publishing thing?

i was just wondering. i will get the book anyway!

I’ve followed his work for years and get to his exhibitions when I can.

I love his enquiring mind, the way he doesn’t fall into a ‘style’ and churn out the same old thing because it sells. And his work ethic is mind blowing! And those lovely free marks :>) with underlying keen observation.

The new book out of his sketchbooks is well worth buying. A really interesting read as well as full of great sketches – with an insight into materials and processes that you don’t normally get, with his work simply labelled ‘mixed media’.

His work always inspires me. I used to time a holiday in Cornwall with his show at the Lemon Street Gallery. I could spend hours looking…
