Begin your nature journaling journey by creating a custom hardcover journal with pages for sketching, painting, writing, and collecting field samples. Then learn observation, drawing, and nature journaling techniques to deepen your connection to the natural world. On the second day, explore basic watercolor or watercolor pencil techniques before practicing your new skills throughout the Gardens. With its stunning coastal landscapes and diverse plant collections, Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is the perfect outdoor classroom. Participants will receive helpful handouts, layout ideas, and inspiration to continue their practice long after the workshop.
