Albany Wiseman: self-portrait
Albany Wiseman, who has died aged 90, was an artist and illustrator whose books of instruction on technique have inspired many an amateur artist.
Wiseman’s illustrative style was much in demand, and during the 1960s he and David Gentleman were commissioned to illustrate all the telephone directories of Great Britain with landmarks of the different counties.
His charm and good humour, combined with his talent for communication, made him a popular teacher, and he was regularly the artist in residence for summer courses, notably with Arts in Provence.
