An illustrated nature journal is a combination of art, nature and science. It combines writing with images as a means of recording observations and stimulating inquiry. On Saturday, September 14, 2024, artist and naturalist James Van Gelder will lead a Nature Journaling workshop hosted by the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society in Oneonta.
The workshop will introduce participants to this unique way to experience the natural world. During this program—geared for all levels of ability, from novice to artist—attendees will use illustration as a tool for exploration.
Paper, water brushes, and pens will be provided. All that is needed is interest. Students will be exposed to the materials and techniques especially useful for journaling, as well as books and other references.
