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.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Learn tricks and methods to handle watercolor in the field. With a few logistical tweaks\, watercolor is a portable\, compact\, and easy to use field system. We will explore color theory and why mixing with red\, blue\, and yellow is a sure-fire way to make mud. There are some tricks that make it a lot easier to control. I will demonstrate the basic skill you need to master to get watercolor to work for you. \nIf you already have a watercolor kit\, see my blog post Choosing Watercolors for additional pigment suggestions. If you do not have a kit\, see my blog post Pimp my palette for a good starter system. \nBonus: Pick up one of Jack’s socks to wear on your wrist as a brush cleaning rag. Wear it with pride.

SUMMARY:Journal Workshop: How to assemble the perfect nature journal kit
DESCRIPTION:When you hit the trail for a day of nature journaling\, you want to have all your favorite items at your fingertips. The more accessible you make your journal kit\, the more likely you will be to get it out and use it. If your journal is buried somewhere in your backpack and it is a hassle to get it out\, it is easy to say to yourself\, "Oh well\, I will draw the next bird". You can go like this all day and never get it out!  \n\nEveryone's kit will be different. We all have our favorite tools and materials. Your kit will be a balance between having the equipment you need and the inconvenience of extra weight and clutter. Bring your favorite materials and field sketching supplies. We will evaluate different systems and help your perfect your kit for you. \nWe will also explore some field sketching logistics such as how to hold your journal while you sketch outdoors\, how to juggle binoculars\, pencil\, journal and other supplies\, dealing with wind\, and the nature journal quick-draw. \nYou can view a list of some of my favorite nature journal supplies and can order some materials from my store. Some supplies will be available for purchase at the workshop such as journal kit shoulder bags\, waterbrushes\, and compact binoculars.
