Nature Journaling and Ornithology

Suitable for beginner to intermediate artists. No experience necessary.

Classes will be held in the field, in the stunning Muckleford Bush, and at the RedShed Arts Workshop, where you will draw on the material gathered in your nature journal and photos.

Enjoy sitting quietly in the beautiful local bush while observing the fresh buzz of spring wildlife coming to life after the short cold days of winter, painting and drawing the natural world around you in your sketchbook. Learn how to record birds, plants and perhaps marsupials and reptiles, in a useful, meaningful and creative way. 

Learn or brush up on your birding identification skills, while we watch them go about their daily birdie business around us.

Develop naturalist and art skills that you can use in almost any setting and travel with.

Course cost $290
