Nature and Landscape Journalling in Mixed Media 

For Nature and Landscape Journalling in Mixed Media we’ll create expressive sketchbook pages inspired by the natural world - trees, hedgerows, flowers, plants and the small details you notice on a walk.

We’ll begin with loose warm ups playing with various mediums, exploring playful marks, colour, and texture to build foundations. From there, we’ll look at how to simplify what you see into clear shapes and strong values - so they stay loose but impactful. We’ll also look at layout and composition, and use quick thumbnail sketches to plan your pages.

Then we’ll start layering - combining pens, coloured pencil, and mixed media to build depth and atmosphere. You’ll leave with a set of nature-inspired journal pages that feel personal, textured, and full of movement. This workshop is about slowing down, experimenting, and enjoying the process together. There’s no pressure to make a ‘finished’ piece. We’re working in a journalling mindset - curious and open to happy accidents. This approach will give you space to play and interpret nature in your own way.
