You learn something instantly every time you pick up a pencil. We are all artists as children, painting and drawing each day. Most of us stop when we get older but David Gentleman kept going. For over ninety years he has been drawing, painting, engraving and printing, rising to become one of Britain's best-known and most loved artists.
