Over the past 15 years, and since the publication of her first book, A Rocky Mountain Sketchbook, well-known art instructor Donna Jo Massie has been developing her creative experiences
in outdoor landscapes by travelling and painting in famously stunning locations in American mountain parks, from a monastery in the Chama Wilderness in northern New Mexico to the Alaska
Marine Ferry on the Inside Passage.
Throughout this fun and practical book, the reader is presented with illustrated pages from Donna Jo’s own sketchbooks, featuring step-by-step instructions; notes on watercolour palette
selection and important techniques; pages devoted to clouds, rocks, trees, water and colour schemes; a map with locations where the sketches were painted; location information that includes
websites should you feel inspired to visit and paint these same landscapes; a supplies and tools page; and separate sketching pages, because, let’s face it, you can’t have too many
sketchbooks!
