Inspiration from Private Journals!

In this book, inspirational writer, artist, and podcaster, Danny Gregory gathers together the works of known and unknown artist who have bravely taken the time to draw and journal their travels. Gregory points out that until you actually draw the place you are visiting, you miss so much of what is going on around you. When you take the time to draw, even a 15 minute sketch, you become aware of so much more! Suddenly the sights, sounds, and smells take on new meaning. . . The wonderful thing is that when you go back to your sketchbook later, the scene comes back to your memory in full force. . . I also appreciated the fact that several of the artists shared what supplies they carry with them to make the experience more enjoyable. . .
