Immerse yourself in the natural world through the art of nature journaling in this enriching class led by artist Sylvia Eneriz. Slow down and let curiosity lead the way! Learn quick watercolor and sketching techniques, hone your powers of observation, and experiment with translating colors, textures, sounds, and sensations into expressive visual and written form. Whether you’re drawn to scientific illustration, expressive prose, or whimsical watercolor studies, you’ll come away with a personal, creative record of your time outdoors — and a set of foundational nature journaling skills to carry into future adventures.
