What You Will Learn?
- Garden and nature journals come to life when you use watercolors to capture the intense, luminous colors you see in flowers, leaves, and other details. In this class, we’re going to work on ways to really push the paints towards bold, vibrant colors..
- We’re also going to work on loose and expressive pen and ink lines. I’m going to show you my approach to creating lines and marks and shapes that look entirely original-- like something that could only be made by you, at that particular place and that particular moment in time..
- What we’re not going to do is get caught up in perfection or rigid accuracy. The great joy of a garden and nature journal is that it is a record of the time you spent in close observation. It’s a place for you to be yourself on the page..
- Let’s go!.
