Drawing Food A Journal

A drawing journal for food lovers, this guided sketchbook invites users to draw—and thereby appreciate—delicious and wholesome food every season of the year. The first half of Drawing Food provides budding artists with accessible instruction in a wide range of drawing techniques and media, to be put to use for sketching anything and everything in the kitchen, from fruits and vegetables to meats, sweets, and utensils. The latter section takes the form of a lightly guided diary in drawings, loosely divided by season, and full of charming prompts to spark creativity. Emphasizing the local and the seasonal, illustrator Claudia Pearson's sweet and playful illustrations offer a bountiful source of inspiration.

Claudia Pearson is a Brooklyn-based artist and author. She is the illustrator of Perpetual Harvest from Chronicle Books.
