Hearld admires such twentieth-century artists as Edward Bawden, John Piper, Eric Ravilious and Enid Marx, and, like them, he chooses to work in a range of media – paint, print, collage, textiles and ceramics. Workbook is the first collection of Hearld's beguiling art.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe works are grouped into nature-related themes introduced by Hearld, who narrates the story behind some of his creations and discusses his influences. He explains his particular love of collage, which he favours for its graphic quality and potential for strong composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt historian Simon Martin contributes an essay on Hearld's place in the English popular-art tradition, and also meets Hearld in his museum-like home to explore the artist's passion for collecting objects, his working methods and his startling ability to view the wonders of the natural world as if through a child's eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book devoted to Mark Hearld and his enchanting, bold visions of the landscapes, plants and animals of the British countryside - featuring some 200 of Hearld's popular prints, collages, sketches and textile and ceramic designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurchase a copy via \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booksellers.org.uk\/bookshopsearch\" target=\"_bookstore\"\u003eyour local UK bookstore\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/hearldbook\" target=\"_amazon\"\u003evia Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stjudesfabrics.co.uk\/collections\/mark-hearld\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt; Find out more about Mark Hearld's award wining wallpapers and fabrics for St Jude's\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Hearld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":251801766,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0031\/1712\/products\/Mark-Hearld-Mark-Hearlds-Work-Book-St-Judes-Prints.jpg?v=1655195991","url":"https:\/\/www.stjudesprints.co.uk\/products\/mark-hearlds-work-book","provider":"St. Jude's Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
