Available online is a collection for forty sketchbooks by Sutherland. These date from 1935-1974 and cover most of his career. They were started shortly after his first visit to Pembrokeshire, when he began the habit of going walking with a sketchbook to jot down the impressions and ideas he could use in his paintings.
