The hilltop farm in Yorktown was graced with sunshine and lovely breezes…a perfect day to sit outside with sketchbooks and take in the day. Everyone enjoyed the gardens, barns, silos and views out over the hills. Looking forward to returning! 🙂
Last week began our summer of sketching and painting outdoors. After a long winter it always feels good to be outdoors in lovely gardens and parks with the sun, breezes, bird songs and the occasional bug 😉 Welcome summer!!!
Tomorrow we begin our Nature Journaling sessions 
As summer arrives there is little that is nicer than sitting in the shade, listening to nature’s bird songs and getting lost in small images of the world around us with paper, pen and watercolors.

Nature Journaling will begin this coming Thursday….most of you are returning from previous summers. If you need directions email me and be sure to check the supply list on my website for thing you need to bring 🙂
I will also be offering a plein air group on Saturday mornings but the kits are already taken so if you want to join in you need your own set up 🙂
Please be ready for a sunny morning….you will need to bring a hat, sun screen, water, an apron that you don’t mind getting messy, a light camp chair or stool is nice to have if you want to take a break….and a snack 🙂
