View from a Sketchbook provides an intimate portrait of nature artist (and top-selling Hallmark artist/designer) Marjolein Bastin as she works through the seasons of the year to create her art. Together with nature writer Tovah Martin, Bastin demonstrates her unique ability to partake fully of the world around her. In her lovely watercolors, Bastin captures the natural world's fleeting beauty; through her example, the reader will understand how to find those treasures for him- or herself. This is a charming book for Bastin's many fans, or for anyone who loves the natural world.
