    Has anyone used A Backyard Nature Drawing Guide by Douglas Farnhan, as recommended by Queens? It looks very promising. What ages have you used it with? Thanks ~ Heather

    I would also like to know about this as well.  I am planning on getting this, mostly for my 8dd but would like to have some more feedback on it, just to be safe Wink.  I would have liked to just look through it for a bit first. 

    Thanks for asking csmamma!

    I bought it – it is a neat book but I was surprised how short it was for the price.  It would work best for a bit older kids – or kids with some drawing ability first.  Around 12 and older.

    Thanks, Dawn. That helps me make my decision.

    I think I’ll stick with the “Draw 50….” Series by Lee  J. Ames. I can get these free at the library.
