Framing Nature ONLINE

This is a recorded version of this course (originally released 2022). Lessons have been activated and are ready to be enjoyed at your own pace. Once you purchase the course, you will need to wait for the access email to be sent manually to you.

Continued access period: LIFETIME.

SYLLABUS: This course zeroes in on the use of my thumbnail sketching and viewfinder technique, specifically for observing and considering nature at a variety of scales. From simple en plein air sketching and detailed drawing, to exercises focusing on large scale aerial and topographical views, this course will give you scope for developing landscape ideas in numerous art and design contexts.

FORMAT: a new session (ten in total) was uploaded to a course page on my website every weekday during the live run of this course. Each daily session includes a learning objective, topic overview, contextual description, and video tutorial. In addition, two short bonus films, with briefs for weekend activities, were shared on the two Friday afternoons during the run. Content will remain accessible for the "lifetime" of the course. When I eventually observe that the course is no longer being accessed by students, I will email and give you four months notice of its retirement.
