Join artist and naturalist Steve Pardue for a 4 hour, hands-on, immersive course designed to introduce you to the art of nature journaling at the Hatton Gallery.
Whether you?ve always wanted to start a nature journal but didn?t know where to begin, or if you?ve tried and struggled to maintain the habit, this course is for you!
During the session you?ll learn how to notice nature in new and meaningful ways and translate your observations into creative expression on the page.
This session is all about observation and creative expression. No need for advanced artistic skills, just a love of nature and a willingness to have a go! You?ll learn how to develop a daily journaling habit and how to capture the world around you in your own unique way.
Session Overview:
- Learn techniques for observation and creative expression
- Practice drawing from nature and incorporating storytelling into your journal
- Consolidate your learning and finish your nature journal with watercolour.
- Tips for maintaining your journaling practice beyond the course
- You will be given a blank concertina nature journal to take away with so you can continue your nature journal at your own pace.
- You will also be given a fineliner pen which you can take home at the end of the session along with Steve?s ?Shortcut to Nature Journaling? guide.
- There will be access to shared watercolour sets for adding colour to the journals during the session.
Steve will guide you through his process and will introduce you to his unique way of looking at nature and gain a better understanding as to the importance of observing and recording the nature on your doorstep. The session is suitable for everyone no matter your drawing skills.
If you can, bring along some photographs (on your phone or tablet) of your garden or local nature patch for reference. You can also bring your own sketching materials if you wish.
