Best book or should I say bible (because it is huuuuuge, almost A4 size 300pages) ever about this subject!

The author is not only trying to teach you how to draw or use the differents medias but as well trying to get your interest about nature and questioning yourself about what your are seeing, wondering why it is this way and not another, learning with your logic and using science as well!

Check his videos on youtube it gives you a little idea of the content of the book. You discover a pationate man wanting to share his incredible work!

Thank you

Imprescindible libro de dibujo y naturalismo

Daniel

Revisado en España el 11 de mayo de 2019

Aunque el ebook esté en inglés, me ha merecido la pena ir traduciendolo online sobre la marcha.
Laws me parece un genio, un maestro. Me estoy iniciando en el dibujo de naturaleza. Te enseña no solo a dibujar paso a paso. También a sentir curiosidad por observar y hacerte preguntas.
Lo más bonito llega cuando ayuda a plasmar lo que está viendo in situ en el campo. Tomando notas escritas y componiendo una página de una jornada de campo. Usando todas las técnicas, desde carboncillo y lápices, a la acuarela.
Lo recomiendo sin duda alguna.

Espectacular

Revisado en España el 7 de enero de 2018

Recomendado cien por cien, las ilustraciones son una pasada y viene un paso a paso desde el encaje de los dibujos, sombras y texturas, hasta técnicas básicas. Es un libro para disfrutar de la naturaleza y del dibujo. Muy contento con la elección, compraré más de John Muir.

Magnifico libro

Revisado en España el 4 de diciembre de 2019

El libro esa una maravilla, al principio dudaba por su precio pero he de admitir qué vale cada euro, hay explicaciones de todo, los trazos necesarios para pintar aves, anfibios o flores e incluso como pintar árboles que es algo difícil de ver bien explicado, en resumen un libro magnifico

This is one of the greatest books i’ve Bought about naturalistic art. It’s so helpful and complete. Everything is well explained and following the steps J. Muir shows is a huge fun. The results are excellent.

Definitely the best book ever on nature sketching and journaling.

Revisado en Reino Unido el 6 de octubre de 2019

Superbe book for anyone wishing to get into nature journaling. I have Claire Walker Leslie and Cathy Johnson's books which are good but they are not in the same league. Muir Laws provides so much more information. Like his videos on YouTube the book has extensive coverage both in depth and in illustration and you cannot avoid getting thoroughly hooked. I cannot recommend this book enough it's worth every penny. I took up nature journaling as a retirement hobby in my sixties the book is my bible I also bought the book for my granddaughter who is 8yrs old. It's never away from her and she has produced wonderful drawings with its help. So a great book for any age or ability.

This is bar none the GREATEST drawing guide I have ever read

Revisado en Reino Unido el 29 de agosto de 2017

This is bar none the GREATEST drawing guide I have ever read. Even if you have no interest in nature journaling or even nature, you would benefit from this as a thorough beginners drawing course. Honestly it teaches you everything right from the beginning - but not in a way that is dull or repetitive. I seriously love it.

A drawing Bible!!

Revisado en Reino Unido el 12 de mayo de 2020

Ok, so... I have always wanted to create a journal of capturing the natural world around me.. just by flicking through this, I can see that it goes way beyond that.

I studied art at college but never gain the skill of quick sketch as I’m too much of a perfectionist, This book easily breaks down how you can achieve quick sketch, how to create those sketches into quality lively drawings and paintings, and how you can capture structure, movement, wind and other aspects of the natural world.

I wasn’t expecting much from this book, but it has gone far beyond my expeditions, it gives you an in-depth guide on birds, plants, flowers, trees, animals, landscapes and for me especially, insects!!!!

Initially I was surprised about the wealth of text in the first 70 pages but it’s very much needed to understand this art form. This is the one book you need in your life, even if you don’t want to create a journal, this is a drawing bible!!!

A brilliant book

Revisado en Reino Unido el 29 de julio de 2017

Having seen John's YouTube videos which are a brilliant resource I was interested to see what his book would be like and it's brilliant. It's 300 pages not 92 as stated in the description. It is full of information on how to start a journal enabling you to notice the world around you and then has a chapters dedicated to how draw animals, wild flowers, trees and landscapes. It's packed with information and John's enthusiasm seen in his videos jumps off the page. A worth while purchase for anyone interested in the natural world.

from an artist point of view

Revisado en Reino Unido el 16 de junio de 2021

Nice to have a different take on drawing. This guide provides lots of useful information on how to keep a journal. It takes doing a day to day journal to a much more informative level and worthwhile reference. There is so much information, beautifully illustrated, in an easy to understand way that I found I could dip in and out and I have found really useful tips that I have used in my own work as an artist.
The book has undoubtedly heightened my observing skills and made my notating stronger.
I am happy to recommend this book, so much so that I am ordering another as a present to a keen birdwatcher.
