Keeping a Nature Journal, 3rd Edition

With an emphasis on learning to see and observe, Leslie shows how drawing nature doesn’t require special skills, artistic ability, or even nature knowledge in order to reap the benefits of her book. Originally published in 2000 with endorsements from E.O. Wilson and Jane Goodall, Keeping a Nature Journal was at the forefront of the nature observation and journaling movement. The third edition features more of Leslie’s step-by-step drawing techniques, a new selection of pages from her own journals (which she’s kept for 40 years), and an expanded range of prompts for observing particular aspects of the natural world in any location.
