Virtual Field Trip: Lake District National Park

[Scroll down for resources for the workshop.]

May 24, 2020 — Zoom workshop-demonstration on quickly sketching landscapes in the field, by Roseann Hanson (University of Arizona Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill / ExploringOverland.com Field Arts Institute) and Ryan Petterson (Stanford University School of Earth Energy and Environmental Sciences).

Roseann and Ryan are both field scientists and naturalists, and keep field journals / nature journals with notes and sketches in pen, pencil, and watercolor.

In this workshop, we take you on a virtual field trip to the Lake District in England using a 360-degree-view website, and then each of us demonstrates how we zero in on a scene, and then do a live sketch and discussion of our thinking and drawing process and techniques, adding color at the end.

Plan to draw along, and we answer questions as we go.

[Please note: during Ryan's sessions a camera / Zoom malfunction created a less-than-ideal resolution, which we are trying to fix.]
