![]() The Cotton Genesis was mostly destroyed by fire in London in 1731 and the Quedlinburg Itala fragment mostly destroyed in the Middle Ages, the vellum used in bookbindings. Fragments of some heavily illustrated luxury manuscripts from before about 450 have survived to the modern day. The earliest extant miniatures are a series of uncolored pen drawings in the Chronograph of 354, which was lost after the Renaissance, but is known from copies. These include Arabic miniatures, and their Persian, Mughal, Ottoman and other Indian offshoots.Ĭhristian traditions Italy and Byzantium, 3rd–6th centuries Miniature of Abraham meeting angels, from the Cotton Genesis, 5th–6th century. ![]() The generally small scale of such medieval pictures has led to etymological confusion with minuteness and to its application to small paintings, especially portrait miniatures, which did however grow from the same tradition and at least initially used similar techniques.Īpart from the Western, Byzantine and Armenian traditions, there is another group of Asian traditions, which is generally more illustrative in nature, and from origins in manuscript book decoration also developed into single-sheet small paintings to be kept in albums, which are also called miniatures, as the Western equivalents in watercolor and other media are not. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too!

The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children’s Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. ![]() I’m delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too. I am on Twitter, on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook. I’d love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). But I’m still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. On we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do.
