Want to deepen your love of the natural world, notice nature’s tiniest details, and spend time surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors? Then start keeping a sketchbook nature journal! Join us for a free journaling field trip in a Jeffco Open Space Park each month and make this activity a habit. 

This session will cover journaling fundamentals and will be a great opportunity for newcomers to develop basic drawing skills and find out more about materials. Time will also be spent out on the trails journaling. 

All ages. Instruction will be geared for adults, but children who are interested in art are welcome to attend with an adult. Parents, please make sure to monitor your children's energy and interest levels during club outings to ensure that their behavior is conducive to a positive learning environment for everyone.

Please bring the following items:

·         Your own sketchbook, a pencil, and any other art supplies you would like to use. We will also have some art materials to share.

·         Sturdy footwear, warm clothes, and a raincoat. If it is chilly, gloves and disposable hand warmers are helpful to keep fingers from getting cold while you are drawing. 

·         Sunglasses and hat

·         Water

·         An item to share at our potluck lunch.

·         A backpack or shoulder bag to carry your supplies

·         A portable chair, stool or sitting pad (optional but great to have if the ground is damp)

·         Binoculars (optional)

·         Your favorite field guides (optional)
