A Perpetual Journal Practice by Lara Call Gastinger (NetGalley ARC, pub 6/23)

A Perpetual Journal Practice by Lara Call Gastinger (NetGalley ARC, pub 6/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There is so much to learn and observe in nature. The book is filled with many beautiful drawings over the course of a year. I particularly liked the butterflies and mushrooms. I appreciated who she walks you through how to select and observe a plant for your journal and to start with focusing on a small section of whatever you are trying to render. I also really liked the options described in “other approaches” for different journaling styles like color studies and dissections. The book concludes with examples from other artists who I’ve now started following. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
