Since moving to Northern California 15 years ago, I have become an avid hiker, kayaker, and explorer of this beautiful landscape. I started keeping notes about my favorite trails and kayaking spots, near and far, as a way to remember places I'd like to return to, then began adding small sketches...It all started getting more and more elaborate. I like playing around with different written fonts as well. I've always planned to pull it all together into one large illustrated notebook--that is my plan with this course! (Also, I'd love to get comfortable enough with watercolors to use those instead of time-consuming colored pencils.) The organizing principle of my notebook might be a sketched map of each trail or river with sketches of the creatures and plants I see along the way...that's my plan anyway.
