I’ve always loved keeping a nature sketchbook. In the last few years these sketchbooks have become a way to explore my own backyard and learn more about my own environment. If the idea of sketching nature and learning more about your world appeals to you, this workshop is for you!

We will cover tips and techniques for drawing and watercolor painting a variety of trees, birds, flowers, animals in our backyards. Come explore the joy of keeping a nature sketchbook and learning all about the natural world you live in!

We will start out with basics, using reference photos, and going outdoors. We will study composition, how to pick subjects, how to draw, ink and watercolor. Most of all, we will explore our own backyards.

Whether permitting, we will head outside for some sketching too.

All skill levels welcome.

Designed to teach skills, give encouragement and create the environment needed to explore and develop our natural creativity with an emphasis on fine art skills. Focus on drawing, watercolor painting and keeping a sketchbook.
