Drawn by Nature: Patterns - Emily Rand

An art activity book celebrating the amazing array of patterns that can be found in the natural world.

In part, this is a colouring book in reverse - instead of colouring in the shapes, you get to fill in shapes with patterns. Combining creativity and calming repetition, this is an activity book to help you feel grounded, relaxed and inspired. A wealth of other activities awaits as well - try creating your own patterns inspired by the incredible shapes you find in nature and draw your own details onto the natural scenes.

Ranging from the mesmerising stripes of a zebra to the tessellating patterns of a turtle's shell and swirly, spiral ferns, this book is bursting with plant and animal life that's just begging for some extra detail to be added. It's perfect for anyone who likes to doodle or who loves noticing the little details in our world.

As an added bonus, each page also has some extra info on why these extraordinary patterns exist in nature, whether it's for camouflage, to attract a mate, or even to defend themselves.
