In Wyoming, this is the month of snow and sunshine! In this class, we will embrace both in our journals and learn to read the seasons and record our observations in creative ways.  In this pressure-free class, we will learn to use sketching and writing to immerse ourselves in nature without shivering, celebrate the change of seasons, and express ourselves through graphite sketches, as well as writing. No prior experience needed! This course meets online via zoom, where we will practice techniques and learn ways to organize our experiences in nature throughout the week. A link will be sent for the online course meeting room on zoom after registration.

Most can be purchased at Amazon.com or Dick Blick Art Supply. A link to a list at Dick Blick and another at Amazon are provided at the end, if you want to read more about the supplies or order directly through them.
