Weekly Nature Watercolor Drawings :)

Each week, we'll have a new nature or animal theme. One week, it might be trees, leaves or butterflies, and the next, flowers, the sky, or landscapes. On some weeks students will be encouraged to bring a physical item they've collected from out in nature (a leaf or flower, for example) or a picture that represents the nature element we're working with that week (like a picture of an ocean wave).

Each week, we'll play with tips for how to draw, outline, and then watercolor this specific nature element.

Students will also be encouraged to write about their observations, inspirations, and experiences as time allows. This offers both the opportunity to practice observational skills and attention to detail, as well as internal awareness and self-expression.

We'll consider questions like:
*What did you observe?
*What details did you notice?
*How did you feel?

It's going to be a beautiful combination and I hope you can join us!

Please Note: This class is created to be a safe space for students to play with and express their creativity and boost their confidence. While the step-by-step drawing and creative process is guided, the class is not designed to contain formal, specific, or in depth watercolor instruction. I encourage students to paint in a way that brings them joy and allows their unique creativity and artist's eye to shine through in ways that are appropriate for their age and experience.
