2024 Nature Journaling Workshop

My introduction to nature journaling workshop is at the picturesque Pembina Nordic Trails & Chalet (Rocky Rapids, Alberta, near Drayton Valley, a 1.5 hour drive from Edmonton City Centre).

Join our full day Nature Journaling class on Saturday, June 8, and immerse yourself in the wild diversity of the outdoors while enhancing your artistic skills. Experience the joy of capturing nature’s wonders through observational sketching and learn to bring your drawings to life with an introduction to watercolor and ink techniques. Our afternoon class is an opportunity for artists of all skill levels who want to try drawing from observation in the wild for an afternoon.

Join us this March and immerse yourself in my Beginner Drawing Class, where we will explore the wonders of nature through observation. Whether you are a budding artist or have never picked up a pencil, this course is designed to nurture your artistic skills and provide you with the tools to appreciate and depict the natural world around you.

What we will cover:
Composition: We will cover basic compositional skills to make your drawing engaging and interesting.
Observational Line Drawing: Learn to see like an artist – how to translate three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings. Learn how to see, measure, and create more convincing drawings from real subjects.  
Shading Techniques: Explore the world of shading, bringing depth and dimension to your drawings. Crystal will talk about how to see light and shadow as an artist so you can bring new life to your work even after class is over.
