Anne Desmet: A Greek Journey

 Get a glimpse at the beauty of the Greek islands through the eyes of British artist Anne Desmet in Anne Desmet: A Greek Journey. This pocket-sized book is filled with recreations of surprisingly detailed pen, wash and watercolor sketches pulled from a series of sketchbook the artist has kept since she first visited Greece in the 1980s. Presented at their actual size, each small-scale illustration captures a piece of the artist’s daily life at her Greek destinations, from bobbing fishing boats and shady streets to bright blue seas and vibrant white architecture. These atmospheric little drawings also give the viewer an appreciation for Desmet’s distinctive use of color and flair for capturing the relationship between foreground and distance. Sure to be a source of inspiration for artists of any medium, this jewel-like volume would also make a great gift for the philhellene in your life.
