When nature journaling and field sketching, capturing the larger landscape around you can really enhance the scope of your journal, telling us something more about where you were and what you were seeing, in addition to “up close” studies of plants and animals. 

But where to start? It’s seems so daunting. Roseann Hanson will share with you her techniques for how to:

• Choose a scene using tools like viewfinders and grids

• Do quick thumbnails to test what you might sketch

• Find the main shapes to start sketching quickly

• Find the main values to add the right depth and details

• Learn to stop and not over-work your sketch!

Working from several “360-degree view” websites and images, the workshop will include live-sketching sessions with the subject displayed alongside the sketching and a running thought- and technique narrative will be shared.

The session is recorded in advance and will be available starting 8 am Australia Eastern Time, Friday, June 5 at this link:
