Keep a sketchbook journal and explore your world, preserve your thoughts and celebrate life! More than a diary of written words, a sketchbook journal allows you to indulge your imagination and exercise your artistic creativity. It is a personal, private place where you have unlimited freedom to express yourself, experiment, discover, dream and document your world. The possibilities are endless. In How to Keep a Sketchbook Journal, Claudia Nice shows you samples from her own journals and provides you with advice and encouragement for keeping your own. She reviews types of journals, from theme and garden journals to travel journals and fantasy sketchbooks, as well as the basic techniques for using pencils, pens, brushes, inks and watercolors to capture your thoughts and impressions. Exactly what goes in your journal is up to you. Sketch quickly to capture a thought or image before it vanishes. Draw or paint with care, to render an idea or vision as realistically as possible. Write about what you see. The choice is yours--and the memories you'll preserve will last a lifetime.… (más)
I've got a couple of books already by Claudia Nice and really love her work. She seems to specialise in ink drawings with watercolour washes but uses a vast range of techniques. This particular book is devoted to keeping a journal. It's thorough, focused and helpful. Lots of examples of her own work and suggestions for keeping a journal ...and the different kinds of sketchbook journals that one may want to keep, for example; a theme around a subject of special interest (like horses), a discovery journal, a travel journal. a reference journal, an in-depth study journal (like details of architectural features), a sketchbook of the imagination, etc. She also suggests writing in the journal to record useful facts...and her own writing is incredible. (At least i assume that it is her own writing and not some special font). I guess her style would not appeal to everybody but I certainly like it and she is very generous in sharing her insights and ideas and techniques. And she ranges across graphite pencil sketches, pen and ink, coloured pencil, watercolour, and various combinations of these. There is no coverage of oil painting...though I guess this does not lend itself to a sketchbook. Lots of great examples there from her own work and I guess that this is one way that she can publish her own work rather than having it just sitting in journals in a drawer somewhere. Must confess that I really liked it and it was very easy to read. So five stars from me. ( )
Great listing of ideas in the first chapter. Beautifully illustrated - high quality. Practical plans for a field kit to combine storage of materials to take with you. ( )

I dedicate this book to all those who are wise-hearted, who seek knowledge and truth, and upon finding it, hold it sacred. For I believe life is not about fairness, winning or losing, but about learning - Learning to seek out the good and appreciate it. Learning to avoid the world pitfalls. Learning to change the bad that can be bettered and enduring the painful that can not with hope and dignity. Learning the value of integrity, sacrifice, fulfillment, and unselfish love.
