Session description

If you’ve explored drawing solitary objects like birds, botanicals, and trees, but struggle to put them together into a cohesive scene, this is the lesson for you. Join professional artist, professor and author Leslie Stroz to learn everything you need to know about painting tiny landscapes. Leslie will share tips, tools, techniques, compositional advice and details about how to draw and paint the world around you in ink and watercolour— AND fit it all into a small frame. These tips can be incorporated into sketches in your nature journal to help you create detailed and exciting compositions of your own.
