Jeffery Camp RA is one of Britains most accomplished artists. In this unique book he brings together his highly individual figure compositions and comments on art and life.

Interspersed with the works are Camps pithy and astute observations, from notes on the tools and techniques of his trade to reflections on his artistic influences and the passing of time. Following his best-selling publications "Draw: How to Master the Art" (1981) and "Paint" (1986), which offered insights into ways of working and looking, "Almanac" adds an autobiographical element to showcase the full extent of the artists wide-ranging and quirky talent.
