Johnson, the author and illustrator of 17 books on art and nature, has updated her popular 1991 volume in the "Sierra Club" series. An inspiration for the naturalist/ artist, this practical, readable work focuses on drawing and sketching as ways of deepening one's relationship with nature. The complexities of color theory are kept to a minimum. Helpful source lists for art suppliers, national art workshops, and the bibliography have been brought up-to- date. This and Wendy Jelbert's Painting Nature's Details (Batsford Ltd., dist. by Trafalgar Square, 1996), which represents the fine arts perspective, should satisfy nearly all patrons. Highly recommended for general collections.
