Have you ever experienced the peace of walking through the woods or the excitement of a storm gathering on a beach? Drawing Nature for the Absolute Beginner will help you capture these moments in artwork and share them others. In their fun and friendly teaching style, Mark and Mary Willenbrink offer a great beginner's course on drawing nature, showing you how to realistically capture the world around you. All you need to get started are some simple supplies, basic techniques, and inspiration. From field to forest, beach or mountain, begin with a structural sketch, apply values and textures, and, before you know it, you'll be drawing everything you see. You'll even learn how to render favorite wildlife such as chipmunks, deer and eagles! • Follow along with easy step-by-step demonstrations to draw rocks, seashells, butterflies and even more developed nature scenes. • Gain a working understanding of key concepts such as perspective, value and composition. • Discover simple tools and tips you can use right away to improve your art. Review: Excellent Workbook - An excellent primer workbook for getting started with drawing nature. Plenty of clear examples and instructions in a user friendly format. Plus, it's printed in black ink (as opposed to pale gray ink that you can't see, let alone read.) My only comment is, I would have preferred a slightly larger type size. Other than this, I can highly recommend this book for your art library. Review: Very good for learning sketching foundations - This is a good instructional sketch book so far, but probably not for someone who has never sketched before. (Just my personal opnion) I did a bit of sketching when I was young, but no basic training such as starting with basic shapes & improving from there.

Clear simple directions for drawing
This is a really good entry level, or maybe second drawing book. Gives basics as well as specifics for drawing nature. I found it VERY helpful. I've had plenty of drawing books, before but most were either some basics and then onto something else, or more advanced stuff on nature. This is basics for drawing outdoor settings. Which was EXACTLY what I needed.

The corner was damaged. It is for special present. Maybe a wrapper could have protected it. Otherwise, happy with the book.

Drawing Nature for the Absolute Beginner.
A very good book with plenty of inspirational drawings and ideas. The first two chapters explain technique and art principles such as perspective and composition and the exercises provide plenty of opportunity for mastering tone. A good buy.

Very good book for beginners
A lot of content and lots of easy practice. For those looking for advanced drawing techniques you will be slightly disappointed. Don't be put of thinking this is just for kids, it's not.
