Another session at Lucy Locketland - read the description here:

Create your own nature journal with Steve Pardue - or continue the one you started in January!

Love nature and looking to learn something new? Nature journaling is about taking the time to notice the tiny details and learning how to express them through a mixture of sketches, paintings and notes. This weekend will help you appreciate nature in new ways and transfer your observations onto the page.

Whether you are new to nature journaling or already a keen observer, this workshop will teach you the skills and techniques to help you develop confidence and skill in recording the natural world.

With guidance from Steve, you will learn practical techniques to identify species and record your observations clearly and creatively. Steve will guide you personally helping you to express your own unique style and providing you with tips and tricks from his many years of experience recording nature.

The aim of the workshops is to provide all the skills for you to carry on your practice in your own time and in your own way.

Observations

The best place to see wildlife is at you own door. It always possible to take great delight at the small and common things we see everyday and often at all times of the year. Dandelions, woodlice, beetles, ladybirds, spiders and slugs can always be found. In looking for the doorstep wildlife we will often find some unusual and often unseen creatures, such as scorpionflies, sexton beetles, longhorn beetles, etc. And whilst it is wonderful to draw these from life sometimes it is not possible, but we can capture these observations using smart phone or camera, as wells as the internet.
