Practiced by artists and naturalists alike, nature journaling is a 
centuries-old exercise in refining our powers of observation, 
appreciation for nature, drawing skills, and mindful presence. This 
group is open to all experience levels as we meet to sketch, connect, 
and learn together!
Del Ray Artisans’ <a href="https://delrayartisans.org/programs/journaling/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nature Journaling Club</a>
 meets at 10am in front of Del Ray Artisans on the final Saturday 
morning of the month (except not in July, November, and December). Mark 
your calendar or <a href="https://nature-jouraling-club-2026.eventbrite.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">set a reminder in Eventbrite</a>.
Participants will need to bring their own sketchbooks and supplies. 
We will have plenty of time for sketching in nature before gathering 
again at 11:30am to share our sketches and observations and discuss tips
 and tools for nature journaling in the wild. We hope you will join us 
as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together!
Suggested supplies: sketchbook, pens, pencils, colored pencils, 
watercolor pencils, or other portable media, and a water bottle since we
 will be outdoors. You may also want to bring something to sit on 
(folding chair or blanket).
NOTE: This program is held outdoors and will be canceled if raining.
This program is FREE! <a href="https://delrayartisans.square.site/product/donation-to-del-ray-artisans/20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Donations</a> to our nonprofit arts organization are appreciated.
