SUMMARY:Drawing Trees in Pen and Ink: Cupertino
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to draw broadleaf and evergreen trees both from a distance and up close details (leaves\, acorns\, seed pods\, and fruit). In addition to studying details of structure\, we will explore shortcuts to help you get the form on paper and tricks to suggest dimension and volume. \nTwo advantages of drawing in ink are that it reproduces clearly for low cost printing and that it does not smudge and smear in your notebook. \nWe will apply our new tree drawing expertise in the field trip at the end of this month to Lake Merrit where we will draw trees for an upcoming educational brochure being produced for Oakland Parks and Recreation. This pro bono work is one way we can help conservation education with our art.

SUMMARY:Rain\, Rain\, Come and Stay! Drawing Rain\, Weather\, and Dew.
DESCRIPTION:To help call in the rain to drought stricken California\, we offer a special workshop on drawing weather. Learn how to suggest a downpour in graphite pencil and watercolor. We will also draw fog\, snow fields\, and a blizzard. After the storm clears we will learn how to draw raindrops or dew on plants and flowers. \nAs a bonus learn how to draw transparent or translucent objects such as fish eggs and jellyfish (using techniques similar to the raindrop trick). \nThis program is free with a $20 suggested donation. No experience necessary. All ages welcome. Bring a sketchbook and pencil and keep your fingers crossed for rain!

SUMMARY:The Five Principles of Better Drawing
DESCRIPTION:You can learn to draw. Representative drawing is a skill\, not a gift. There are five principles that I wish I knew when I started. Practicing these with exercises\, and keeping them in mind as you sketch or paint will improve the accuracy\, speed\, and clarity of your work. Learn how to modify and adapt these techniques for any drawing. \nThis class is open to journal keepers of all levels and ages and no experience is required. No registration or sign up necessary. Bring a sketchbook and a pencil. $20 suggested donation. \nBonus: Bring a recent sketch (since the last field trip)  to share and receive a free gift- the most game changing drawing tool in my kit.

SUMMARY:Sketching with Ballpoint Pens
DESCRIPTION:[O]n a recent trip to Rwanda\, I realized that I would fill my sketchbook long before returning home. I usually sketch with soft pencil and leave the opposite page blank so that facing pages will not smear each other. To conserve paper\, I gave up the pencil and started sketching with a ballpoint pen. Within a week I was in love with this new tool and experimenting with ways to get the most out of it. In this workshop I will share what I learned. \n\nDiscover the versatility of ballpoint pens.\nExplore advanced crosshatching techniques.\nLearn what to do when things go wrong with pen. Discover an approach to correcting mistakes or living with the result and moving on.\nWhat do you do when the pen starts to blob and skip?\nExperiment to find the pens that work the best.\n\nRoot through your home and bring all the ballpoints you can find\, even the really cheap ones. We will play with these and find the ones that will work the best for your field sketching. \n$20 suggested donation. \nNo registration required.

SUMMARY:Composition
DESCRIPTION:A strong composition is the backbone of a successful drawing. In addition\, creative composition will open alternative ways of seeing a subject and give you new and exciting avenues to explore in your art. Composition is not hard to master and with a few basic principles under your belt you will see a dramatic improvement in your landscapes\, page layouts\, and photography. In this workshop you will learn ways of visualizing and analyzing your artwork that help you create strong compositions in a single drawing or on the fly as you combine elements on a page. Also learn how to do post-hoc composition to fix the layout of a page or a single sketch.

SUMMARY:The next step: Making your nature drawings come alive
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be taught by the wonderful nature journaler and teacher Laurie Wigham. You’ve been working hard to make sense of the underlying structures: why a bird’s leg seems to bend backward in the middle or how to get the proportions right when you foreshorten those flower petals. It’s time to set aside all the careful measuring and scientific description and go for capturing the joy: the way the flick of a bird’s tail or a tree’s branches reaching for the sun can break your heart open.\nWe’ll be exploring those semi-mystical artist’s concepts of Gesture and The Mark: how the way your arm moves when stroking a pencil over smooth paper will tell a different story than an ink pen skipping and catching on rough paper. We’ll be looking at ways different artists have done this and then will run through a series of exercises so fast there won’t be time to think or get nervous.\nBring a soft pencil and some rough paper if you’ve got them\, but I will also bring materials for everyone to use. Don’t worry about taking notes: I’ll be posting a link to online Flickr galleries of artwork from the presentation so you can take your time looking through it all later

SUMMARY:A Rainbow of Colors from Three Primaries
DESCRIPTION:[Y]ou do not need a palette of a million colors if you understand the way colors mix. There is a lot of misinformation and dogma that confuses people when they try to mix colors. If you have ever accidentally mixed dull or muddy colors\, it is not you. Learn how to create a rainbow of vivid hues and precisely match colors with three primaries (cyan\, magenta\, and yellow). Bring your journal\, waterbrush (or watercolor brush with a container of water and rag)\, and a plant or flower to share. Your instructor\, Kristin Meuser\, will provide the paint ($1.00 materials fee). In this hands on workshop\, you will be able to test and experiment to discover for yourself how color mixing really works and learn to avoid the common pitfalls. Say goodbye to mud and hello precise\, lively\, and rich color. \nKristin Meuser is a wonderful nature journaling and watercolor teacher who gives classes throughout the Bay Area and California. Learn more about Kristin and her workshops. \n

SUMMARY:How to use Gouache in your Nature Journal
DESCRIPTION:Gouache is an opaque water based paint. You can use it as a stand alone method to add color to your nature journal or as a supplement to a watercolor kit. When used on toned paper\, it creates bold highlights and a dynamic value range. In this workshop\, we will explore field tested techniques to add gouache to your journaling game. Learn the challenges of working with this medium and how to get around them. This is a hands on workshop and you will have a chance to try it yourself. Bring your watercolor palette and receive a complementary dollop of white gouache. If you attended the palette party. Bring your new set of paints and get ready to play. If you requested a palette but could not make the palette party\, I will bring your finished palette the day of the class. \n

SUMMARY:Two ways of drawing (NJC Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:When I draw\, my brain flickers back and forth between two ways of seeing and thinking about my subject. On one had\, I analyze the structure and play upon my knowledge of anatomy. On the other\, I ignore the structure and attend to what I really see. I break down complex subjects into simple shapes. These may be 2D or 3D depending on the subject or angle. In this workshop we will explore and practice these two ways of seeing and drawing. Bring a sketchbook and pencil and be ready for a hands on workshop together. Invite a friend. This year\, let’s share the experience of journaling with others. No registration required.

There is no formula or one way to draw any of these things but there are some observations and approaches to drawing that can be applied with many media and with your own style. Add these techniques to your journaling quiver.
