10 Inspiring Art Books (and how I use them)

I'm often asked about the books on my studio bookshelf, so in this relaxing video I'll share 10 of my favourites with you. I'll talk about how I use them in my art practice to inspire my work, how they give me ideas for different colour palettes, techniques and subjects to paint, and why it's a good idea to curate your own library of new and secondhand art books. A great video to use for last minute Christmas gift ideas too!
