Join TTL for a viewing party of the seventh annual online Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference! We'll provide nature journals, pencils, and snacks. No previous experience is necessary, but if you are new to nature journaling, you may want to review the basics: John Muir Laws Get Started with Nature Journaling

Nature journaling is a great way to build observational skills, connect with the natural beauty around us, and enjoy making images, words, and numbers in the company of community. All faculty, staff, and students are invited!

Session description

The experience of live observation and drawing is precious. If you are hesitant to draw live, this class will give you the techniques and the confidence to do so–and the experience will help you learn that sketches do not have to be perfect to be valuable. “Drawing the moment” with a living model is a skill that you can build through practice, and it can be the vital foundation of a polished image. Artist Linda Feltner will share her approach and process to drawing live birds. You are encouraged to draw along, creating sketches and notations while observing engaging live owls. Beginners and seasoned artists alike will leave with ideas and techniques for addressing challenging subjects.
