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.
offer you simple hands on exercises that demystify sketching and painting landscape elements in your journal. You'll also receive guidance on how to design your page through combining "sense of place" landscapes, closeups, prose and graphic elements that tell the story of your day in nature.
To that end you will learn my color mixing process using my handy watercolor nature journaling kit, which will bring your pages to life.
You may not call yourself an artist, but you will become comfortable identifying yourself as a nature journaler and discover the joy of seeing your practice grow. All levels welcome!
