About the event
This event is part of the Wilder Youth project and is for ages 12 - 24. In this one-day introduction to nature journaling, Alex will show you some fundamentals of nature journaling with fun prompts and exercises that are suitable for any artistic/naturalist/writing skill level. We will begin with a simple sketchbook and pencil with some time sketching and writing outdoors. After lunch, we will return to the studio to work the morning’s observations into a page (or more!) of paintings and writing. A pool of art materials will be available for you to use, though you are welcome to bring your own. Tuition will focus on the use of Derwent Inktense pencils (water-soluble) and coloured pencils. Sketchbook included.
