Workshop Description
Participants in this workshop will practice simple sketching techniques with pen, pencil, and watercolor, as well as the use of words, symbols, and diagrams to record observations of creatures and places in nature. It will emphasize the use of all five senses to explore a thing or a place and encourage sustained observation to really see versus simply look at any natural phenomenon. The workshop will be a friendly, fast-paced experience in a supportive atmosphere.
