A Garden Sketchbook: Drawing from Nature for Beginners

This course is perfect for you if you’ve always wanted to start a sketchbook but didn’t know how. We’ll explore gardens, parks, and all the little creatures in them — while building your drawing skills and your own unique style. This course is designed especially for beginners. We’ll draw plants, birds, and insects, experiment with art supplies, and use sketchbooks to capture the beauty around us like a visual diary. 

Let’s slow down, observe, and draw the world together — one sketch at a time!

Hi, I'm Katie!

I am an illustrator and artist from New Zealand, currently living in Vancouver Island, Canada. I work for clients internationally on projects for publishing, surface pattern design and art licensing. I also have my own line of stationery and other illustrated goodies under the brand In My Backyard. 

I find the colours, shapes and textures of the natural world an endless source of inspiration, and filling sketchbook pages with these observations is a vital part of my practice. My sketchbooks are where I can try out materials, discover new colour combinations and be free to play.
