Sketching Birds in the Field

Description: Join artist and nature journal educator Morgan Lewis for an introduction to sketching birds in your field journal. With a focus on shorebirds and seabirds, this two hour field trip will cover sketching basics for capturing bird likenesses and improving your memory, ID recall, and field notes. Make sure to bring your journal or sketchbook, a pencil, and something to sit on if you don't want to sit on the ground. No prior experience necessary.

Meeting location: Meet on Sunset Drive at the main entrance to Asilomar State Beach, across from the conference grounds. Parking all along Sunset Drive is free, follow posted signs. We may go onto the sandy beach or walk along the coastal trail during the class.
