Based on my series Around the World in 80 Trees (in which we spent a year traveling around the globe by region and sketching interesting, weird, iconic, or beautiful trees and tree-like plants), this is a new series based on animals—we’ll travel the world and learn as much natural history as we can, plus master the art of quickly sketching birds, mammals, monotremes, and more!

No. 4: Africa (Part 1)

What you’ll need: a multi-media sketchbook or an accordion style booklet (see below), pen and / or pencil for our base drawings, and then watercolor or colored pencil to quickly bring them to life.

TIP: For plants I used a strip of heavy watercolor paper folded into four squares to create an “accordion” booklet to record my trees (8 total, 4 on each side). For animals I recommend a full sketchbook, or larger squares, at least 5” if you choose an accordion.

Prepwork: Create a map of the region so you can place the regions the species were located.

Length: 2 hours

Any amount is appreciated!

Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth by Ben Rawlance

NYTimes article about Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a medical biochemist, botanist, organic chemist, poet, author, and developer of artificial blood. But her main focus for decades now has been to telegraph to the world, in prose that is scientifically exacting yet startlingly affecting, the wondrous capabilities of trees. She is featured in the Balsam Poplar chapter in Rawlance’s book.

Field Arts Workshop: Landscapitos! Little drawings, big impact

,

Adding small landscape drawings and paintings to your journals creates a wonderful sense of place, greatly enhancing your pages. John Muir Laws calls them “landscapitos!” Don’t be intimidated! These are fast, fun, and addictive.

I’ll take you on two or three explorations using my Virtual Field Trip technology; I’ll walk you through how I choose a scene to sketch, how I “edit” down the view so I’m not overwhelmed, and how I quickly map out the drawing using big shapes. Then we’ll add some beautiful watercolor.

Have your journal and pencil or pen with waterproof ink handy, along with your favorite watercolors. Have you seen my new Earth Palette? These are especially fun paints for landscapitos.

Length: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Resources from the Workshop

Information and links from the workshop:

My favorite paints: Minimalist = a true primary triad (cyan, magenta, yellow) plus two wild-card colors for making browns and black. I like Daniel Smith Manganese Blue, Quinacridone Rose, and Aureolin Yellow, plus Burnt Sienna and Indanthrone Blue. Or, love Greenleaf & Blueberry’s Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, and their Red Ochre and Mayan Blue 2. https://www.exploringoverland.com/academy#color
