Drawing Nature

Have you always wanted to learn to draw and to keep a nature journal?

I am happy to offer this course in support of Raincoast Conservation Foundation.

Drawing Nature includes three live Zoom demos, plus notes on materials and techniques. It is designed to help you jump into drawing and painting nature. You will learn some simple techniques to help you make quick and accurate drawings. You’ll find out about different materials: pencils, pens,pencil crayons, and watercolour, to bring your drawings to life. Plants, shells, bones, feathers, stones, trees and clouds—they can all be captured in quick sketches. Not only is drawing a wonderful way to be “in the moment” but a vivid record of travels, hikes, or even home.

Join me for three live Zoom demo sessions:

3 Wednesdays 1:00- 2:30 pm, November 12, 19, 26.

All sessions will be recorded and available until December 15.

Watch this space!

Registration opens October 10. At that time you can make a donation to Raincoast Conservation to participate.

Raincoast: science and conservation

Raincoast is a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by our research to protect the lands, waters and wildlife of coastal British Columbia. We use rigorous, peer-reviewed science and community engagement to further our conservation objectives. We call this approach informed advocacy. As a charitable, non-profit conservation science organization that operates a research lab, field station and a research/sailing vessel, we are unique in Canada.

Our mandate: Investigate. Inform. Inspire.

We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.

Our vision

Our vision for coastal British Columbia is to protect the habitats and resources of umbrella species. We believe this approach will help safeguard all species, including people, and ecological processes that exist at different scales.
