Description
Everything your budding artist will need to gain a better perspective on art is in this stunning book. The author himself was dyslexic and found that he learned best by drawing and journaling. He teaches others to observe, record what they see through art journaling, and give thanks for what is seen. The graphic layout is organized and instructional. Lean how to draw, step-by-step, animals, wildflowers, trees, landscapes, skies, and so much more. Techniques for using graphite, colored pencils, watercolors, and gouache are also covered. Softcover, with sewn binding that lays flat. 303 pages. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling
The ultimate guide to nature drawing and journaling! A potent combination of art, science, and boundless enthusiasm, the latest art instruction book from John Muir Laws (The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds) is a how-to guide for becoming a better artist and a more attentive naturalist. In straightforward text complemented by step-by-step illustrations, dozens of exercises lead the hand and mind through creating accurate reproductions of plants and animals as well as landscapes, skies, and more. Laws provides clear, practical advice for every step of the process for artists at every level, from the basics of choosing supplies to advanced techniques. While the book's advice will improve the skills of already accomplished artists, the emphasis on seeing, learning, and feeling will make this book valuable—even revelatory—to anyone interested in the natural world, no matter how rudimentary their artistic abilities.
