This class is the first in a series of classes that I'll be creating to help you take your art practice outside! Welcome to the first class in my new Summer Art Series!

If you're ready to combine your love for the outdoors with your creative journey then join me in this class where I'll guide you through starting your first nature journal. I'll be showing you how I layout my journal and how to use watercolors to capture the beauty of your surroundings.

In this class you'll learn:

How to pack supplies for a hike
The tools you'll need to create in your studio
We'll discuss observation & collecting items
Design & Composition tips for a beautiful layout
Tips on painting the world around you in watercolor
Techniques you can use in your journal

Who is this class for?

This class is for everyone! It doesn't really matter how much art experience you have, this class is intended to get you outside observing and recording the world around you. You will pick up some art techniques and tips, but if you're a beginner this class will help you on your way to starting your journaling practice. This is also something you can have your children do with you!
