You don't need an hour or a fancy nature journaling kit to get started. Just get out your journal, notice one little thing, get curious, and journal about it, even for just a few minutes. Like the camel's nose under the tent, more drawings might follow, but you don't need to commit…go try it right now! 

Join Botanical Illustrator Claudia Stevens and the Nature Journal Club for a 1.5-hour workshop. Through step-by-step demonstrations, you will learn foundational techniques and skills to carry into the next level of your art. Bringing art to science, you will explore observation, attention to detail, plant structure, measurement, recording data, and accuracy. Learn how to layer watercolor pencils and incorporate them into a watercolor painting--all made easy and fun. Claudia will cover techniques including composing, layering transparent hues, and dry brush work.
