Norman Ackroyd

This book brings together a selection of the original plein-air watercolour sketches, some produced under arduous conditions of weather and sea, which have provided the basis for many of Norman's most memorable etchings.

The latest in the RA’s best-selling series of artists’ sketchbooks, An Irish Notebook is Norman Ackroyd RA's enthralling journey down the west coast of Ireland. From Malin to Mizen, via the rocky outcrops of Puffin Island and the emerald depths of Roaringwater Bay, Ackroyd records the Irish coast in all its rugged beauty.
