Illustrated nature journal

The definitive guide to drawing a nature journal! John Muir Laws' latest art book, Illustrated Nature Diary. A Guide to Observing and Drawing, is a potent combination of art, science and boundless enthusiasm: a practical guide to becoming a better artist and naturalist.

Laws provides clear, practical advice - from the basics of choosing materials to more advanced techniques - in simple text, supplemented by step-by-step illustrations. Dozens of exercises guide the hand and mind to create accurate reproductions of plants, animals, landscapes, and skies.

While the text's tips will enhance the skills of accomplished artists, its enthusiasm for seeing, learning, and feeling everything around us will make it a valuable, even eye-opening, book for anyone interested in nature, no matter how rudimentary their artistic skills.
