Sketchbook Traveler Southwest

Long before photography existed travelers chronicled their travels in word and with illustrations and paintings in journals or sketchbooks.

There is something special about illustrated journals. No matter the traveler their chronicle of the journey is highly personal and unique. Think of them as visual journals or diaries.

Author James Lancel McElhinney and Schiffer Publishing present Sketchbook Traveler Southwest that captures the look and feel of the old travel journals artist created while chronically their trips and explorations.

Beautifully illustrated predominantly in pencil and water color  the book contains actual journal entries by the writer complete with travel notes.

Additionally the history of the visual journals is included demonstrating how the old travelers from the past set about creating their journals.

Suggestions on how readers can create their own sketchbook journals is also included as well as encouragement and blank pages, a list of materials needed and how to get started. 

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." — 2 Corinthians 9:7
