There are art instruction books and then there are books that not only teach fundamentals but inspire a desire to devote time and patinence in the pursuit of a given subject matter. This book is one of them. The skill in drawing is equal to the passion and tenderness for the subject, yet in each chapter beginners and all the artistically curious are gently nudged to master basic skills that allow the mysteries of nature in spring to be explored. Working primarily in the simple medium of pencil Mr. Arnosky opens up the universe of nature. This is one of four books dealing with sketching and nature at the four major times of dramatic change;Spring Summer Winter and Fall. The drawings and encouragement shared are enough to get you up and hiking to find those exquisite moments when the senses and skill can be married for the high purpose of creating art even if only a beginner. Though I did not buy this book from amazon, I still have my copy to get me going when the sketching season begins here in the northeast. Do you, and those you know who love nature, a favor and buy this book. Who knows you may someday sketch a bumble bee sleeping between two large leaves and be spellbound.
