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.
I’ll share my favourite supplies to pack when you’re sketching on location.
Simplify landscapes and nature details into strong, clear shapes
Use texture, value, and colour to create depth and mood
How to create pages that feel expressive and personal, rather than tight or polished
Please bring your own reference images linked to landscapes and nature. Perhaps go for a favourite walk and take plenty of photos of your route, interesting views and little Spring flowers. These can be printed out or saved on your phone. If your references are on your phone, please bring a charger so your phone doesn’t run out during the day.
Time: 11am-4pm
Refreshments provided
Just bring a packed lunch
Warm wishes,
