Customer Reviews

Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling is spectacular!

This is the VERY BEST book I have on the subject! I hate to spend real money on a book, but I wasn't disappointed with this book. If you are just getting into nature journalling, start here. You will probably discover that you don't need any more books on the subject. He starts with the basics and discussed all aspects of making a journal. He is humble, honest, and excited about the fact he doesn't know the answers to his questions. He uses that as a reason to keep learning. I have only read a few pages, but leafing through the 328 pages is so inspiring. I have already learned so many important things. Date your page and tell the weather with simple symbols, clouds for cloudy, sun for sunny, etc. Draw a simple map or the name of park. Focus on one area or thing to write about. He discussed journaling in different media. You won't be sorry that you bought this book. I only regret that I can't give it more stars!
