Journaling about your gardens — and/or gardens you explore
TBD
ONE HOUR TO DE-STRESS AND SHARE WITH LIKE-MINDED FLOWER AND PLANT LOVERS
$15/per journaling class.
Watercolorists of ALL levels, join us as we embark with pen and brush on a watercolor painting “trip” that takes us to our own gardens and also to inspiring flora around us as we explore this beautiful world, all on ZOOM! Whether you’re seeing the first of daffodils and tulips and hellebore in your Michigan yards, or you’re in an area in the south where azalea and rhododendron are popping or maybe lilies are starting to bloom as St. Johns Wort starts to shut down for another season… or maybe it’s a carpet of trillium in the forest just up the road from you or you saw lady slipper on your spring hike! And don’t forget a simple tour of a garden shop or nursery or even grocery-store bouquets fall into the flora category!
This loose-format hour is sure to de-stress you and put you in the moment as we observe botanical beauty — and our relationship with a subject — with pen, brush, and pretty colors. At each session, I will demonstrate a journaling technique and then we will share (optional) our works from a previous class. We’ll practice writing (optional, can just be a recording of observation, date, etc.) a passage, poem, note, expression that pairs with our art. Each class ends with a homework assignment that you can do for the next class or if you’re not in the next class, a future class.
Once you sign up, I will suggest a few journals (and other simple supplies) for purchase at various local shops or online, or you can make your own with watercolor paper and an accordion folding technique.
