Nature Journaling for Bird Watchers: Summer Series

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Nature Journaling is designed to teach you how to turn your field observations into confident drawings. The course leads you from basics of gesture drawing that allows you to express bird movement, through proportions to layout and composition, providing you with everything you need to keep a personal birdwatching journal – instead of just filling up pre-printed pages.
