In this video, I’m giving you a full flip-through and tour of The Nature Sketching Journal, a beautifully designed A5 booklet created to guide you through a year of mindful nature sketching and creative growth.
Inside this 80-page journal, you’ll discover:
- A gentle introduction to mindful sketching and creativity
- Guidance on tools, materials, and slowing down with your sketchbook
- Monthly themes with journalling prompts, sketching exercises, affirmations, and reflections
- A fun sketching tracker to help you build a regular creative habit
- “Did you know?” nature facts and nourishing self-care prompts
- QR codes linking to exclusive sketching tutorials on my YouTube channel
- Space for lists, notes, doodling, and an end-of-year reflection
The journal is undated, so you can begin at any time of year and move through the months at your own pace. Its compact A5 size makes it easy to tuck into a bag or pocket and take out into nature with you.
You’ll also hear the story behind the stunning cover artwork, a bespoke linocut print created by the wonderful artist Nicole Revy - a piece that perfectly captures the spirit of sketching slowly and mindfully outdoors.
Whether you’re new to sketching or looking to reconnect with your creative practice, this journal is designed to support, inspire, and encourage you every step of the way.
