Claudia Nice

North Light Books, 2001

The Mistress of Pen & Ink!

+ Beautiful book
+ Very enjoyable and nice tips...

This book not only has great ideas for sketchbook journals, but wonderful detailed lessons on pen & ink work and watercolor techniques. I wouldn't say it was directed at beginning artists, thought. This is more geared to drawing & painting than actual journaling.
