Perpetual Journaling with Lara Gastinger

This is a recording of our live demo, Perpetual Journaling with Lara Gastinger. A perpetual journal is an approach to nature journaling that builds year after year on the same pages. In this demo, Lara will introduce basic skills for starting and maintaining your own perpetual journal! Learn how to set up your sketchbook and discover the observational techniques that Lara uses to sketch on-location. Lara will be drawing and painting a fern fiddlehead and frond, and we invite you to follow along with pen and watercolor. Lara's book will be available in both our online and retail store soon! For this demo, Lara recommends bringing: A waterproof fineliner like the Copic Multiliner SP Pen or Lara’s favorite, a Micron pen (size 005, sepia). Smooth watercolor paper or hot press 140lb paper. Water brush or a small paint brush with clean water. Bring your palette and favorite paints! Lara’s palette includes Prussian Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Lemon Yellow, Indian Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Scarlet Red, Neutral Tint, Sepia, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, and Moonglow.
