Summary: May be inspiring to you, but it didn't inspire me at all
Comment: This is more of a "how to draw and paint" book than about keeping a journal. It is packed with plenty of drawings in mixed media from pencil to pen to watercolor and a blend of all of them.
I must say the book is attractive. The format is like a wider-than-long sketchbook, bound attractively with a wide hessian cloth band. But the drawings didn't do anything for me most of the time, though the butterflies were nicely done. There is a very handy schematic for sewing a field drawing and painting carryall to carry your book and implements with you in the field. That was a nice touch.
I already have a library of art instruction books, and that wasn't what I expected from the title. This book just doesn't have enough "journal" content for me, nor do I like the style of drawings so this isn't my cup of tea. However, you might like the style and the art lessons, so your opinion may differ completely from mine.

Summary: truly a life enhancing experience
Comment: I was fascinated by the style and piercing grab Claudia Nice arrived at in her book "How To Keep A Sketchbook Journal" and added some of her suggestions to my own Journaling.
It is amazing but some events I "Liked" became events I "Love"
now that they have been recorded, illustrated and enhanced with the further insights that seem to tease out or arrive when you revisit the past.(Suggestion: Leave space for new insights and spantaneous arrisings of surprising feelings and sensations as your penetrations into your own life take on a new life of their own ) If you connect meditation with your journaling new space opens up and it is like having a Parallel Universe to be alive in. Truly a life enhancing experience...
You owe yourself this books enhancement to the life you own.
When you get the knack of it every day can be an adverturous trip that is worth writing about.
Seems like there is immesurable meaning and depth to life once you start looking.
Thank you Claudia ...

Summary: Okay for those who already draw well
Comment: This book is fine for those who are nature-oriented and can draw good likenesses. The author uses many pen drawings with colred washes. ...
