Drawing From Nature

In the words of noted illustrator Trina Schart Hyman, "What a wonderful book this is! Its so beautifully written, and so clearly and lovingly drawn, that I feel as if I had gone for a nice long walk with my sketchbook and a friend. "This is the kind of book every young or just-beginning artist needs, and every tried old artist can learn from. I found out lots of fascinating things I didn't know, and even discovered why I draw some things the way I do. Much more than a how-to--it's a personal statement by a gifted artist who deeply loves nature and who thinks about what he sees. He can also draw what he sees accurately, elegantly, and in a way that says, 'come, you can do it, too!'"
