Drawn to Nature: Through the Journals of Clare Walker Leslie

Beautiful book. Lovely sketches.

I bought this for a friends birthday. It is a beautifully illustrated nature diary. She loved it too.

I love this book. It is absolutely beautiful. There are so many great little surprises through out. I found myself looking up authors mentioned occasionally, also books. I was really inspired to start including more nature in my journaling and the book gave me enough jumping off points that I didn't feel completely over whelmed.I also loved the learning to draw bits through out the book. It really helps those of us who may not draw get lost in the book and then disappointed when trying it out.This book is a much loved book in my home and I recommend it completely!

Lots of great information, even for the advanced artist.

Love this book. Just pick it up and open to any page. The pages from her journals come complete with spelling errors. I found the watercolor pictures to be inspiring. I always thought you had to strive for Audubon quality in your drawings to be meaningful. Not so. There are many illustrations that she does with just swooshes of color to convey a sense of time and place.
