For some; it is a cherished; everyday habit - a way of wandering through the ideas in their mind; playing around with new subjects; or just having some anything-goes kind of fun. For others; sketching is a deliberate tool for problem-solving - working through a composition; capturing a moments light or test-driving a color scheme.As you turn the pages youll be immersed in the creative processes of these individuals; arriving on the other side with a feeling of kinship and a renewed desire to boldly capture life in your own sketchbooks!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. More to whale songs than anyone knew.By Raspberry G.Even though I have been interested in whales since childhood. I never imagined that a discussion of whale songs could be so fascinating. pulling discussion threads from science. art. music. acoustics. animal behavior. and other disciplines.The image of the author. standing in a dingy. playing clarinet music to whales is. in itself. a poem.A standing ovation to the author who makes non-fiction. deeply itriguing. and more of a woven interaction of thoughts than any fiction can.Shepherdess1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. SweetBy Jody M ClarkYes. sweet. What a marvelous celebration of the Earth. its largest animals and the history of music. This is not a fast read. It is a good morning read on the treadmill (paperback). but I then treat myself to finishing each chapter on my Kindle in the evening.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
