A Perpetual Journal Practice (52 spreads from a botanical artist)

A Perpetual Journal Practice asks you to accept an invitation to connect with nature, with botanical artist Lara Call Gastinger, who teaches artists on how to develop a rich mindful practice, using 52 of her own full-page journal spreads.

From how to number each page spread in a fresh blank journal, to tips on bringing those blank pages to life through art, this is a powerful book for naturalists who seed a deep and personal understand of nature and the healing of green spaces.

Keeping a nature journal is far more interesting than keeping a diary, when you wallow on about your own life and woes. It inspires you to look in your own backyard, garden or park or by the beach, to be amazed at the creatures we share England with, and even further afield.

Use with eco-friendly drawing pencils or natural vegan watercolour paints.
