John Muir Laws, called "a modern Audubon" by The Washington Post, will show you how to keep a nature journal to become a better artist - and a more attentive naturalist. Dozens of exercises lead the hand and mind through creating accurate reproductions of what you observe, from a single wildflower to majestic vistas. Laws emphasis on seeing, learning, and feeling will make this book valuable, even revelatory, to anyone interested in the natural world, whether you are an accomplished artist or drawing for the first time.
