I love sketching nature, particularly plants, but it's not always practical or even possible to sketch nature IN nature. And I have access to far more diversity at my local library. I requested this book through interlibrary loan. It's also available on Amazon if you'd like to own your own copy.

Welcome to BETTER WITH ART. I'm Melinda and I'm here to encourage you to practice creative self-care with weekly small-art and journaling prompts that can be done in an art journal or on paper if you don't have one.

If you'd like an art journal that’s ideal for my simple form of art journaling that uses various mediums, the paper is important. It needs to be heavy-weight and preferably hot-press because although I love the texture of cold-press it's really hard on markers and pens. The mixed-media one I use in my videos and the art journaling groups at the library where I work is 140lb/300gsm. It stands up to all my dry, wet, and layered applications. Sold in a three-pack, it also remains the best regular-price value that I've found:
