Bird Journals: Birds and Their Surroundings – How to Simplify! with Jude Siegel

Join Jude to learn how to see differently and how to drop unrealistic artistic expectations of yourself. Start or continue your bird journal. No art or birding experience is needed! For joy, not mastery! Keeping a bird journal is fun, easy, portable, and a creative, relaxing way to record your experiences with birds.

In this session, you will learn to simply suggest birds and their surroundings, using drawing and easy watercolor. We will work with bird specimens, practice and hone observation skills, and learn ways to get the birds on the journal page. 

This class is meant to be fun and relaxing, so let’s drop those expectations that cramp us, and explore possibilities. No art experience required!
