Although everyone is accustomed to recording what they see and hear on their mobile phones, British illustrator Jo Brown still records everything she sees in her hometown in the face of the rare world of nature, and she depicts the wild animals and plants found in the countryside in a notebook!
Her work resembles old-school nature drawings from the 18th and 19th centuries, and Jo Brown has been obsessed with depicting everything nature has found since 2018, and has only revolved around the rustic gardens of Devon, where he lives, and has made a beautiful nature diary. Whether it is the wild mushrooms that grow in the grass, the chirping whispers, rare flowers, succulents, etc., they all become the most beautiful painting marks. She drew a natural diary to record what she discovered every day, and in her opinion nature is the most important part of daily life, especially since it is not out of reach, but everywhere.
Jo Brown pursues inspiration in life, slowing down and observing everything around her. For her, looking for pictures of flora and fauna on the Internet for drawing is far more fascinating than the experience of digging treasures in the wild. Each nature diary she draws with ballpoint pens and colored pencils, and a beautiful painting takes 6 to 10 hours, and the delicate lines that outline the contours of animals and plants, with features, discovery time and detailed text descriptions and Latin scientific names of species, are comparable to a complete biological codex.
The hand-drawn works on Moleskine's notes were collected by her into the book Secrets of a Devon Wood: My Nature Journal to give everyone a sense of nature.
