Praise for the Living Sketchbook series:

''James Gurney's Living Sketchbook celebrates the mobility and charm of gouache, casein, colored pencil and pen & ink in sketchbook form. This brilliant app is loaded with beautiful high resolution artwork set to a powerful environmental soundscape that brings you there. The narration is full of insightful observations and wisdom to pass on to artists of all levels. Additional layers of video are dispersed in the volume to clearly illustrate approaches by a master teacher and storyteller. An elegant and generous offering that will immediately make you want to sketch out in the wild'!"

Erik Tiemens - Watersketch.com

"There is a lesson to be learned with every sketch in James Gurney's The Living Sketchbook whether it's about light, color, materials or composition. Spending time with each sketch and being able to zoom in on them allows you to really think about how they were created. And videos that accompany many of the sketches enrich the experience because you see the sketch develop from large color blocks down to final details. And of course hearing James narrate his thought process whether it be about his limited palette choices or the characters he meets while sketching is what makes it come alive for me. It's done with warmth, humor, honesty and a vast wealth of knowledge."

This app is outstanding! One of my favorite aspects of James's videos is getting the opportunity to hear his thoughts about the pieces he is painting. I love that I can get that same experience while enjoying the detailed views of the high-resolution sketches in the app.

Jon Schindehette, Art Director, Art Order

Its as nice as having James's sketchbook in my hands! Having followed many of these pieces and seeing the originals in some cases, I find that this is a really helpful tool to see how he paints in real life and being able to examine the images at my leisure to see the way that the final brushstrokes are put down.
