Field Notes: Nature Journaling

Join me for Field Notes: Nature Journaling Walk, a beginner-friendly outdoor sketching workshop rooted in slow looking, observation, and the small natural details hiding in plain sight.

This workshop is less about making a perfect page and more about learning how to notice: shapes, rhythms, textures, colors, and the living details we usually walk past.

Materials included!
