Majestic View Nature Center
Join us as we relax and connect with nature at the Majestic View Nature Center. Observing the majestic trees and Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, we will explore opportunities for creating background washes in our journals using water color and natural inks made from acorns and black walnuts.
Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms
We will slow down and observe as we draw and rub textures in this amazing natural environment. We will lay out a journal page using a grid plan with written and drawn observations and a quote or poem.You may want to bring a favorite nature quote or poem or write one on site.
Carson Nature Center
Let’s take a moment to just sit still and breathe in all that’s around us. We will talk a bit about the poetry in everyday moments. And then delve into winter trees and how to use shades from black to white to draw them and to explain the recurring triangle fractal of tree branches you can see in winter when the leaves are gone.
