Join Nature Journaling Instructor Sarah Reid to learn tips and techniques of how to sketch rock formations, waves, cliffs and even wildflowers. We will explore a few different tricks of using a resist for white water, watercolors, and playing with the shapes of sea, land, and rock formations to create easy “landscapitos” — little landscapes and coastscapes. Feel free to bring art supplies if you have them like colored pencils, watercolor paints, or watercolor pencils. The Instructor will have some watercolor paint sets to share.
We will meet at the Shell Beach parking lot along the Sonoma Coast and take a walk north along the Kortum trail from there. We will not be going down to the beach. Participants should bring a folding stool or chair or something to sit on the ground, and wear layers of clothing for a variety of coastal conditions.
