Mixed Media Meets Nature Journaling I Two Artists Explore The Jurassic Coast 🌊

Hello Creative Souls 🩵 I am excited to share with you the artist meet up I had with Alex Boon. We spent a lovely time walking along the coast on the Dorset/Devon border. Join me as I take a sneak peek in Alex’s nature journal and find out what it means to him to be able to get out into nature, to observe, listen and record all the flora, fauna and wildlife that crosses Alex’s path and how he records the process in his nature journal. Two artists, who are inspired by nature, explore the breathtaking Jurassic Coast through the lens of mixed media and nature journalling! In this video, I'll be showcasing my creative process as I capture the essence of this stunning coastline using a variety of materials and techniques. From the initial sketch to the gouache, tempera paint sticks and Derwent Inktense pencils. We each had a unique reflection of the natural beauty that surrounds us. Whether you're a nature lover, an art enthusiast, or simply looking for inspiration, this video is sure to delight and spark your creativity. So grab your journal or sketchbooks and let's dive into the world of mixed media and nature journalling together!
