Sketching Nature: The Botanical Sketchbooks 

Over the years  I've become an avid sketcher and in May 2025, my book, Sketching Nature: The Beginners Guide to Keeping a Botanical Sketchbook was  published and is already into its second print run.  Click here for more information and sellers.

​​

I also have a YouTube channel The Botanical Sketchbooker . Where you can learn more about my process and hear me talking about some of the pages. 

If you're interested in taking things further,  I have a Sketchbook tutorial on my other website. Click here for information 

​​​

Since 2020 I've been working on a white flower sketchbook, see images on the right, I hope to publish this work in the future. I also hope to publish my sketchbook pages alongside the plant stories that accompany them.....one day, if I can find the right publisher.
