‘Start Painting Now’

To celebrate the release of this book, Livingstone St. Ives is planning a glamorous champagne and high tea launch party, taking place on Thursday 23rd June 2022, 3pm-5pm in our gallery at Westcotts Quay, St. Ives.

Emily and Sarah will be signing books, and there will be a Q&A along with a brand-new exhibition of paintings which runs until 26th June 2022.

We are also offering our followers an exclusive opportunity to preorder an individually hand-signed copy, plus an exclusive bookmark, constructed from original artwork by Emily Powell. Each individual bookmark has been cut out from sketches and studies for larger works by Emily, and will be a permanent, unique inspiration to your creativity.

Numbers are limited, so to reserve your copy or purchase a ticket to the event, please select your preferred option from the dropdown below.

Get in touch with your inner artist and nurture your creative mind with this playful and informative handbook.

Whether you’re returning to art after a long break or starting as a complete beginner, this book will inspire you to just pick up a brush and see where it takes you. Backed by the latest research on the benefits of art for mental health and wellbeing, complete with inspiring examples from a range of female artists and set alongside examples of Emily and Sarah’s own work, Start Painting Now will empower you to put aside the fear of failure, turn off your phone and throw yourself into the joy of creativity.
