Nature Journaling with Rob Elliott

This course is about using sketchbooks to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world.

A nature sketchbook can improve one’s observations, aid with memory, and be a way of sharing your experiences with others.

We will start with a look at observation and recording techniques, materials, and useful digital tools. Then we will take a short nature walk and return to the class for a guided drawing session.

Rob Elliott has been working as a painter, illustrator and designer for over 20 years. He is originally from Vancouver. His colourful and bold art approach stems from his early jobs as a screen printer and newspaper layout artist. He is also an amateur birdwatcher and plays accordion in a weird cover band. Rob lives in Toronto with his partner, textile artist Christine Cosby.
