New free Field Arts classes and virtual field trip!

How are you doing with your New Year’s resolution to improve your nature journaling and field sketching skills?

Here is my lineup of free workshops and field trips in the next few months, I hope you can join me!

• JAN. 23 – DRAWING WITH GRIDS - 3D Cube Landscapes & More (FREE, online): How to draw “3-D” landscape cubes — in which you envision taking a giant cutter and pulling a cube out of a landscape, showing the sliced edges and details such as soil and creeks and roots. They are challenging—but with a fun new tool ( the new clear Perspex Palette-Easel ) I will show you how to easily capture a very fun view of a landscape. Make your own (I’ll include instructions), or order one from my shop ($13 with a dry-erase marker or $12 without). For information and to sign up click >HERE<

• FEB. 06 – VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP – WINTER WONDERLANDS (FREE, online): Join me on a virtual field trip sketching winter wonderlands around the world! Experiment with different ways to represent snow and ice . . . from the comfort of your warm studio! We’ll explore using blue for shadows, how to represent animal tracks, and sketch some icicles.

• FEB. 20 – Nature Journaling Best Practices – Check-in for beginners (or anyone) ( FREE, online): The hardest part of nature journaling isn’t the sketching and painting—it’s maintaining your practice.

  If you are. new to nature journaling, or struggling with an ongoing practice, join us for a check-in session to share our experiences and frustrations making nature journaling a regular part of our lives.

  The aim of this hour-long session will be to talk about success or struggles, and our community will help find solutions and suggestions.
