How To Start A Nature Journal
This class comes with a "pay what you want" feature: Enter the amount you want to contribute in the field on the right side (the minimum price is indicated).
In this class, we’re going to start a nature sketchbook, or nature journal.
If you love art and nature and would love to connect the two, then you should try out nature sketchbooks. Or maybe you’re curious to make your own art, but feel hesitant to do so, or you always wanted to keep a sketchbook but don’t know how...all very good reasons you should explore nature sketchbooks.
The sketchbook has become my favorite tool (and I used to be deadly afraid of it..). Sketchbooks don’t have to be intimidating, they can serve you to discover beauty in nature, and to connect more deeply with the world around you. And you will get better drawing skills in the process.
This class will show you:
- essential techniques for keeping a nature sketchbook
- how this can help you to build your creative habits
- how to get better at observing and drawing
- how to choose the right materials
- and how to actually get started
- my favorite techniques and different examples of sketchbook pages
- how you can find inspiration in nature
- my step-by-step process for sketching nature
Drawing and painting with watercolors is a skill that everyone can learn if they keep doing it regularly. And if you do it, you will see and experience nature like you haven’t done before. You will remember it better and more vividly.
This class is great for beginners, in fact absolutely everyone can start such a nature sketchbook and build a regular art making habit around it. I hope you’ll be inspired and excited to start your own nature sketchbook by the end of this class!
