How to Keep a Sketchbook Journal 11 reviews
Claudia Nice
North Light Books, 2001
The Mistress of Pen & Ink!
+ Beautiful book
+ Very enjoyable and nice tips...
This book not only has great ideas for sketchbook journals, but wonderful detailed lessons on pen & ink work and watercolor techniques. I wouldn't say it was directed at beginning artists, thought. This is more geared to drawing & painting than actual journaling.

Chronicle Books, 2005
Opens up your creativity!
+ WONDERFUL
I love Sabrina Ward Harrison's books already, and this one allows you to interact with her creativity to unlock yours. I get out my markers and pens and go to town journaling in a way that I wouldn't be able to do on my own. I recommend it for self-exploration. It's also a great tool before ...

The Forgetting Room19 reviews
Nick Bantock
Harper Perennial, 1999
"Forgetting Room" by Nick Bantock
+ Confusing
+ Beautiful!!
This book is like a breath of fresh air!!! It has a magic in a very heart felt story and its intriguing surrealistic symbolism. Aesthetically it is quite outstanding and made even more so in the intimate format of the book. I am now very eager to visit the small Spanish town of Ronda! I am sorry ...

Wonderful Book...

I had Spilling Open and decided to search Amazon for any other books. I found Brave on the Rocks. I think Sabrina is unique and very talented. She makes me feel like art is possible for anyone with the desire to create. I don't know why people have to dismiss her efforts. Like our mothers said "If ...

The first Renaissance man
Nothing of Leonardo DAVinci's sketchbooks were published until the 20th century. These are some of the most important documents of the Renaissance, and they did not become known until the 20th century. There are still people who do not know how important this work was. His anatomical studies ...
