DRAW YOUR WORLD

DRAW YOUR WORLD is the follow up book to Draw Your Day (Watson-Guptill, Summer 2018). Similar to the first title, this book is an approachable and inspiring guide to sketching and painting the world around you - including nature drawing, urban sketching, travel drawing, drawing from memory or photos, and sketch journaling.

In this second book, Baker delves deeper with informative step-by-step instructions to inspire any new artist. As a self-taught artist herself, Baker knows what it's like to start at the beginning, so the instruction in the book is approachable and relevant for a wide audience.

In her easygoing and down-to-earth style, Samantha Dion Baker gives beginner artists everything they need to begin a new art practice or enliven an existing one. She covers materials, basic art techniques such as sketching and perspective, and how to approach drawing scenes, nature, and everyday life. With step-by-step lessons and skills to learn in each subject, DRAW YOUR WORLD will inspire readers to see the world around them in new ways and capture memories, nature scenes, and day-to-day life in a journal or as finished artwork.
