Fall to Winter Transitions: Watercolor Nature Journaling

Kristin Meuser is returning to lead a watercolor nature journaling workshop featuring the transitioning landscape of the Laguna from Fall to Winter. You will learn to sketch close up studies of plants and distant vistas of fields and mountains using a full range of colors mixed from a simple palette of eight harmonious pigments. Hands-on aids will help you create depth in your landscapes and close up sketches. Notation and prose writing combines with your sketching to bring to life the memory of your day. The beautiful Heron Hall classroom offers the opportunity to work rain or shine with its huge picture windows and outdoor overhangs.

Kristin Meuser has been painting the land for over 35 years.  Several years ago her love of nature led her to the Sierra Nevada Field Campus where she studied nature journaling with Jack Laws, watercolor with Andie Thrams, and writing with Sarah Rabkin.  Kristin’s career as a graphic designer gives her journal pages a sense of structured variety and a delightfully cohesive overall effect.  She has been teaching watercolor nature journaling for the past 5 years privately and at art and retreat centers in California.  Her work is found in private collections, it has been shown regionally, and has been represented by the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite.
