Author and Drawing Water Alumni, John Bates, has shared excerpts from his book "Wisconsin's Wild Lakes:A Guide to the Last Undeveloped Natural Lakes. In this book, he teamed up with Drawing Water artist in residence Rebecca Jabs (2017) who provided illustrations. The book includes maps, directions on how to visit the lakes, natural history notes as well as tips on how to help keep these wild lakes healthy. We will share a new lake periodically and hope you can make a visit, with your sketchbook, journal or just your picnic lunch!
