Explore the enriching world of nature journaling in an eight-week, self-guided “workshop in a book” from explorer, naturalist, and artist Roseann Hanson.

Find out how journaling nurtures a deeper understanding and love for nature while healing our digitally fractured minds.

Use drawing to learn about nature—the emphasis is on “drawing to learn” not “learning to draw.” And before you know it, your sketching skills will surprise you with how much you improve!

This unique book will teach you to:

• Break free from the distracted life;

• Learn about nature through mindfulness;

• Improve your well-being;

• Silence your inner critic and learn to sketch and write about nature.

Includes:

• blank journal pages (60 pages)

• sturdy metal spiral binding, for full flip-back capability

• stiff chipboard back insert for easier writing and sketching

• eight instructional chapters (110 pages)

• eight weekly assignments and progress checklists

• four information-rich appendices

• tips and templates

• removable clear acetate viewing grid

• BONUS: Mini workshop on how to make your own paint from locally collected minerals

• EXTRA BONUSES if you order directly from me! (Email me if you buy from another source to get these bonuses sent to you):

  • Access to private resources just for readers of my book, including a seven-video course on my website (demonstrating many of the skills and techniques in my book)—this is a $38 value you will get for free;

  • A new private forum on my website for you to post and ask me questions; and

  • An hour-long beginner’s video workshop with practice resources and plenty of encouragement to get you started!

Praise from students:

“Each lesson is effective in building on the ones that have gone before. The process is clear and the time ‘flew’ when I was in that state of ‘flow.’ I found myself looking forward to the experience each day and enjoyed it very much!” – Susan Dragoo, photographer, writer, adventurer (susandragoo.com)

“I love this book! I had never thought of doing this before, because I can’t draw, but now I’m enthused to try nature journaling! The instruction, methods, and assignments are clearly laid out, make sense, and flow just right one into the next.” – Mindy Cox, hydrologist and botanist

“This workbook offers a well-structured and logical guide on how to nature journal. It lays out the process with easy-to-follow, positive instruction, and shares the joy you receive from practicing nature journaling.” – Marisa Rice, field scientist
