The Journey
Although we can't be together physically, I have found that an amazing connection takes place in small zoom gatherings, and I'm optimistic that these workshops will help you develop skill and community in your watercolor nature journaling practice. Here is a list of I will present material similar to my in-person workshops through the use of an auxiliary camera that will allow me to give live demonstrations of techniques. Downloadable handouts will We will also share our pages throughout which is a great way to learn from each other and create a sense of community.
​
Kits: I do still require that you use my kit since so much of the workshop depends on the use of its contents. If you don't already have MY kit, you will need to purchase one on the Kits page. Once you purchase the kit, which will arrive within 3 days or so, you'll be given a link to a video of how to do the color exercises. It will be necessary for you to complete the exercises in the video before the start of class. *For those who already have a kit, contact me and I will send you the link to refresh your memory and skills.
Emandal Farm Retreat - Along the Eel River
JAugust 17 - 21, 2020
Emandal Farm, Willits, CA
​
Taking the time to sketch, paint and write in your journal is a path to connect deeply to nature and beyond to your own inner nature. This year we will focus on water, as well as the flora and fauna found along the Eel River. You will develop the skills to quickly and accurately record your day in nature through sketching, painting and writing.
During our morning workshops we will take short walks to various locations along the river where we will study the magic of water and surroundings by opening to all our senses, and recording them through sketching, painting, and writing.
​
In the afternoons we will dive further into the process of capturing our experience on the pages of our journals and finding time to swim in the river and explore the trails and gardens of Emandal. Later we will share soiree style with other campers.
​
You will learn to mix a full range of nuanced colors with just 8 pigments, and I will give you hands-on materials that will give you confidence in exploring these natural wonders. We will share our work as we go, learning from each other, and weaving this into our journals.
