Colville House
Two hands hold up a softcover book with a black cover. Centred on the cover, the words "Colville House Sketchbook" are written in black letters and set within a yellow ochre rectangle.
Two hands hold open a book. On the left page is an unfinished sketch of a person's legs mid-lunge. On the right page is a sketch of a person wearing a swimming cap.

A flexible multi-age resource designed for Colville House. Taking Colville’s preparatory drawings for the mural Athletes as its starting point, The Colville House Sketchbook invites drawers to observe the world through a series of prompts inspired by themes within Colville’s work.

The sketchbook features advice for drawing and a fold-out viewfinder.

Written and designed by Lucy MacDonald.
