Nature journaling is a great way to enrich skills of observation, curiosity, and awareness. This practice has been employed for centuries by naturalists, scientists, and artists. Nature journaling is an accessible practice requiring only basic tools and a sense of curiosity. No previous art experience necessary! In this workshop we will explore several formats for nature journaling, practice approaching subjects with guiding questions, and document observations using combinations of words, symbols, numbers, and pictures. Instruction will cover techniques for sketching and recording observations in the field, and in-class sketching exercises. This will be an interactive class in which attendees will actively participate and carry out real-time exercises. Basic supplies will be provided. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own notebook or sketchbook and wet/dry media if they prefer.
Rebecca Newton is a wildlife biologist and artist living in Billings, MT, with husband Darin, their two kids (Eyrie and Cassin), and a small menagerie of critters. Rebecca enjoys sketching all sorts of subjects in a variety of settings and works primarily in water-based media and pen.
