In-person Nature Journaling and Art Workshops
£65.00
Devon Open Studios workshop: Introduction to Nature Journaling. Monday 16th September, 10-4– Umborne Bridge Studio, Colyton – £65. 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 a full morning of sketching by the River Coly (mobility is needed, walk approx 1.5 miles). You may bring a sketchbook if you prefer though a small book and pencil will be provided for you to keep. A printed illustrated nature journaling guide will also be provided for you to keep and use as reference. We hope for a picnic lunch by the river, weather permitting. Please bring a packed lunch but there will be an opportunity to visit the corner shop if needed. Tea and biscuits provided at the studio in the afternoon. 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 and waterbrushes (provided for you to try).
