International Journaling Week - Landscapes

This video is for Day 5 of International Nature Journaling Week and officially debuted June 5, 2020 at 8 am Australia Central time — to help you prepare, here are some resources and tips:

  • Have your journal and a pen or pencil, and maybe some watercolors, ready to go. See below for what my color palette is for my Minimalist Paint Kit.

  • Before starting, do some warm-up exercises—draw 20 straight lines, 10 circles, a bunch of wavy lines. Get your hand-eye-coordination going!

  • We’re heading on a virtual field trip to Cochise Stronghold West in the Dragoon Mountains of Southern Arizona. Here’s some background on this interesting place (this is from a climbing website, but it has good information and photos): https://www.mountainproject.com/area/107476315/west-stronghold
