Nature Journal: Drawing Ideas For Spring

This class comes with a "pay what you want" feature. Simply enter the amount you want to give into the field on the right side.

This course is the second in my series about nature journaling throughout the year.

It’s great for anyone who wants to get started or continue nature journaling in spring, and anyone who wants to keep creative throughout the year. By journaling about your observations in nature you get a closer connection to nature and to making art. You can use these nature studies in your sketchbook to develop your own ideas for any creative project. Your skill level doesn’t matter as long as you have curiosity and an interest in nature.

We’ll go for a hike together and take a look at different creative techniques for nature journaling now that nature is waking up again and you can see all kinds of plants, bugs, butterflies and fresh greens. I will share lots of different ideas for drawing in your sketchbook now that nature is waking up, and how you can explore sketching outside in spring.

We’ll take a look at:

• different nature journaling techniques
• several step-by-step demonstrations of what I paint in my sketchbook in this season
• how to sketch flowers, bees and butterflies and add color with watercolor
• how to make a small map
• how to draw live birds when you don’t have any birds near you
• how to explore the colors of spring
• practical tips for beginner and intermediate nature journalers
