Field Arts Workshop: Around the World in 80 Animals No. 9 – Oceania
Note: you may turn on closed captions by clicking the “CC” button in the video controls. You can also view full screen by clicking the Expand arrows.
Based on my series Around the World in 80 Trees (in which we spent a year traveling around the globe by region and sketching interesting, weird, iconic, or beautiful trees and tree-like plants), this is a new series based on animals—we’ll travel the world and learn as much natural history as we can, plus master the art of quickly sketching birds, mammals, monotremes, and more!
No. 9: Oceania
What you’ll need: a multi-media sketchbook or an accordion style booklet (see below), pen and / or pencil for our base drawings, and then watercolor or colored pencil to quickly bring them to life.
TIP: For plants I used a strip of heavy watercolor paper folded into four squares to create an “accordion” booklet to record my trees (8 total, 4 on each side). For animals I recommend a full sketchbook, or larger squares, at least 5” if you choose an accordion.
Prepwork: Create a map of the region so you can place the regions the species were located. Longtime “Around the World” series attendee Dorothea suggested this one (just be sure to acknowledge the source on your sketch): Simple Outline Oceania Map

PDF of the Presentation
Because I had so much trouble with the internet, I had to turn on the “talking head” box, and this showed up at times covering the titles on the slides, so here is a link to view the PDF of the slide show for detail. Please note this is for personal use only, and may not be used for any presentations or workshops without written permission.
Colors and brush I use:
I favor a simple primary “triad” plus two extra colors: Manganese Blue (“cyan”), Quinacridone Rose (“magenta”), Aureolin Yellow (“yellow”), and Burnt Sienna and Indanthrone Blue, all Daniel Smith.
I use an Isabey Squirrel Mop Travel Brush or a Pentel Waterbrush, depending on my mood!
Any amount is appreciated!

Field Arts Workshop: Around the World in 80 Trees No. 1 (N. America)
Inspired by Jonathan Drori’s wonderful books Around the World in 80 Trees and Around the World Plants, we’re going to travel around the globe by region and sketch interesting, weird, iconic, or beautiful trees and tree-like plants.
Stop 1: North America!
What you’ll need: a multi-media sketchbook or an accordion style booklet (see below), pen and / or pencil for our base drawings, and then watercolor or colored pencil to quickly bring them to life.
TIP: I used a strip of heavy watercolor paper folded into four squares to create an “accordion” booklet to record my trees (8 total, 4 on each side).
Prepwork: have on hand a simple outline map of North America (from the Arctic to Panama) so you can sketch location points for each species.
Length: 2 hours

Locations of the 8 species for this workshop (these are not the ranges, but the site where the specimen we sketch is located).
Tip: Create an outline of North America in your journal so you can mark the site locations of our sketched species. Credit: TimVandevall.com

Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth by Ben Rawlance
NYTimes article about Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a medical biochemist, botanist, organic chemist, poet, author, and developer of artificial blood. But her main focus for decades now has been to telegraph to the world, in prose that is scientifically exacting yet startlingly affecting, the wondrous capabilities of trees. She is featured in the Balsam Poplar chapter in Rawlance’s book.
Colors I use:
I favor a simple primary “triad” plus two extra colors: Manganese Blue (“cyan”), Quinacridone Rose (“magenta”), Aureolin Yellow (“yellow”), and Burnt Sienna and Indanthrone Blue, all Daniel Smith.

Virtual Field Trip to Arctic Alaska
I recently returned from a two-week exploration of the Alaskan high and middle Arctic—and fell in love! I'd love to take you there, so jump aboard as we head back to Point Barrow and Uqtiagvik, and then journey up the "haul road" to Prudhoe Bay, enjoying the Brooks Range and looking for caribou and muskox. [You can view my journal pages from my journey by clicking the link above.]
Length: 2 hours
