Cloud Mountain Living Arts and Aikido, Roxbury VT is hosting an Introduction to Nature Journaling workshop with artist Sandy McDermott of Birchtree Studio.

Field sketching is a wonderful tool for capturing the environment that you inhabit, travel through, and appreciate. Field sketching is different than creating finished drawings; your goal is to capture quick flashes of the things around you. Many of your sketches may end up very unfinished. Think of each page in your journal or sketchbook as a "study" of some object or place that you want to remember. Birds, mammals, trees, flowers, waterscapes – even buildings – will provide interesting and fun challenges for us as we use graphite and/or pen to develop our pages.

Tap into your sense of curiosity. Join us to engage with and wonder about our beautiful natural world.

Bring with your favorite sketchpad (newsprint pads not recommended), your favorite drawing pencils and/or pen, a white rubber eraser and a kneaded eraser. If you have any questions about materials please contact Sandy directly.
