Nature Journaling | Delightful Art Co

Inspired by Charlotte Mason and the forest-school movement, this class will help you develop the habit of nature journaling.

Themes

Every class will be like the next chapter in a story in which we go a little further into the woods and discover something new each week. A short, fun poem and great artwork will give us ideas for drawing the things we discover: maybe we will come upon "a host of golden daffodils", "dappled things", or, "a tree with a nest of robins in her hair." In addition to drawing, we'll learn to use color with, colored pencils, watercolors, or markers.
