substantial original working sketchbook by British artist Kate Yates, containing approximately 50 pages of original watercolours, pencil and ink drawings.

A particularly appealing collection ranging from accomplished architectural and garden watercolours to lively observational figure studies, café and interior scenes, portraits and rapidly captured groups of people. The book gives an unusually intimate view of the artist working directly from life.

Many pages are substantial compositions rather than simple preparatory doodles, and the variety of media and subjects makes the sketchbook particularly attractive as a complete object.
