Watercolor and Ink Nature Journaling at Plains Conservation Center

Nature Journaling is a wonderful way to connect to the natural world. Watercolor and ink are an easy, portable, and enjoyable way to enrich every experience. Whether you share your art or keep it as a memory keepsake, create memories and always learn something new. Each month covers a different natural topic and introduces a few new watercolor techniques. Each student creates a piece of art and is inspired to try again. This class is a journey in discovering what art appeals to you and what type of artist you want to be.
