The Nature Sketching Journal
A Year of Mindful Sketching Inspired by Nature
Rediscover your creative flow, deepen your connection to the natural world, and carve out precious time just for you with this beautifully designed A5 journal.
Are you longing for creative space that’s just yours?
The Nature Sketching Journal invites you into a gentle, year-long practice of noticing, sketching, reflecting and becoming more present.
Designed for you — whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned regular — this journal blends mindful promptings, nature-inspired sketching exercises and space for reflection to help you develop a sustainable sketchbook habit.
Inside you’ll find:

Monthly guided sketching tutorials and exercises to awaken your eyes and your pencil.
-
Journalling prompts and uplifting affirmations to deepen your creative mindset.
-
A sketch-tracker and planning space so your practice stays consistent, hopeful and joyful.

A clean A5 format (148 × 210 mm) — compact enough to slip in your bag for a walk in the garden or a café retreat.

Pick up your pencil and begin your journey of noticing.

Why This Journal Stands Out
-
Created by an experienced artist-teacher (Susan Yeates) who marries horticulture, nature awareness and fine art practice.
-
A perfect fit for those who want to reinvest in themselves, reclaim creative time and sketch with confidence — not pressure.
-
Focuses on wellness through creativity rather than perfection. The aim is time, ease and expression, not comparison.
-
Beautifully designed with a matte-cover, manageable page-count and practical size — so the journal enhances your lifestyle, not complicates it.
How to Use It
-
Begin with the introductory sections to set your intensions for the year.
-
Then move onto the monthly spreads to discover the theme and focus for the month. Use the tutorials and linked videos to inspire your sketching!
-
Complete the journalling space to reflect on what you noticed, how you felt, what you learned.
-
Check in with your sketching tracker at the end of each month: celebrate progress, set a simple goal for the next.
-
Carry it with you on walks, garden visits, family breaks — sketch a leaf, a tree, a cloud, a seedpod. Let the world around you become your art-studio.
Who This Is For
-
You have limited creative time, but you are ready to protect it fiercely.
-
You love nature, plants, walks, gardens, and wish you sketched more of what you see.
-
You want to sketch for yourself — not for Instagram, not for perfection — but for the joy of noticing and expressing.
-
You want a structured, yet gentle companion to help you build the habit, month by month.
-
You are drawn to mindfulness, maybe yoga or meditation, and you see creativity as part of your personal growth and self-care.
Begin your month-by-month creative journey today. Your pencil is waiting. Your nature is calling.
