Nature Journaling

at 

River Garden Studio

An Online Workshop

by Roxanne Evans Stout

 

Whether you already love it or you want to try observing, writing, drawing, painting, and photographing outside,

Nature Journaling online offers new ideas and techniques.

You'll collage in conjunction with nature and wildlife and create gorgeous projects that include found objects.

The course enriches creativity and vision and fosters greater observation of the natural world, helping you be more at ease with writing what you see and feel, freeing you to be more perceptive and reflective.

I've constructed the course to be for all levels, so first-timers and experienced artists alike can reap the benefits of the beautiful content and inspiring lessons.

Each week's projects include experimenting with painting, drawing, writing, collaging, mixed media, and often photography.

Here is a small introduction video of the Nature Journaling online workshop from when I first designed it. 

It began in the month of almost summer month of June but could easily work in any season!

 

  

  

 Registration is Open

go at your own pace

on-line workshop!

Through out the workshop, we will take a closer look at and play with flowers, leaves-twigs-grasses, butterflies, trees, and birds.

We also eco-dye in the garden and make a beautiful accordion book to hold our observations and creations.

Gorgeous pictures and inspirational quotes accompany the lessons, blog posts,and videos.

Let me help you

and see the world

in a brand new way!

 This workshop is for you if:

 or would like to try.

in the nature and wildlife that surrounds you.

There is no time limit.

As with all of my online workshops, I want to help you find your magic and make each project uniquely yours.

Go at your own pace - there is plenty of room to return to a portion or to repeat as many times as you like!

Plus, once you register, you continue to have access to the videos and groups forever after. After two years if you still want access to the blog you can email me and I will add you to a new list of readers.

My worktable as I get ready to film...

Here is what one of my students wrote to me

when I asked if I had helped 

inspire one of her beautiful creations... 

"Thank you! 

Yes, you have inspired me. 

The whole class has inspired me,

I feel like I've found my "tribe". 

I love my garden and working with plant material

and putting it on paper

and I've been inspired to pursue watercolors

much more than I ever have before. 

This year,

I set a goal to practice drawing more

and this class has been a perfect outlet for that.  

I've enjoyed seeing and being inspired by the work of others on Flickr, too.  

All and all, it's been a great class." 

-Jan LaFollette

I just ran across this information. Do you still offer this online class? Is it ongoing throughout the seasons? I am interested but not experienced in drawing and painting.
Thank You.
