Join naturalist, field artist, and explorer Roseann Hanson for a morning introductory talk on how to get started nature journaling and field sketching. Her books, Nature Journaling for a Wild Life, and Master of Field Arts, are unique “workshops in a book” format with easy how-to instructions that progress chapter-by-chapter and include goals and homework assignments to keep you on track. Nature Journaling for a Wild Life (£39.99) includes 60 pages of blank journal pages plus special pull-outs such as bookmarks and an acetate drawing grid.

With this book, you will be “drawing to learn,” not learning to draw, and you’ll discover that anyone can master field sketching and watercolor.

Roseann’s second book, Master of Field Arts (£37.99), is like a master’s degree in becoming a more advanced field sketcher and naturalist, with chapters on cartography, animal tracking, reading the weather, and deep dives into mastering pen and ink, graphite pencils, and natural pigment paints, as well as a bonus chapter on making your own ink and quill pen.

Join us and enter the magical world of nature journaling and field arts.

Books for sale, signed by the author. Outdoor sketching demo if weather permits.
