Join renowned botanical artist and newly published author, Lara Call Gastinger as you learn basic skills for drawing outside and keeping a field sketching journal, such as a perpetual journal. We will explore and draw in the gardens after learning how to break down the complexity of a plant, use a pen, add watercolor, and make important observations. Lara will introduce basic skills for starting and maintaining your own perpetual journal. She will explain how pages are set up and discuss techniques that she uses to create her nature observations. All of these are practices she shares in her new book, A Perpetual Journal Practice.
