Hello, My name is Deltra, the author of this post. Alana is the owner of the course who has graciously signed me up to take it! I work for her at a nature shop and look forward to learning all I can about field journaling! Thanks for the opportunity.
I live in Stony Plain Alberta Canada, lake country! All seasons bring an abundance of enjoyment when out on the water and surrounding areas. I mostly photograph micro environments and paint larger oil paintings from them. I want to start recording more of the experience through a collection of illustration, descriptive language, mark making, colour, prints and whatever means possible to tell a story about the places I encounter. It is my hope this will bring a rich layer of meaning to my larger work in the studio. Images included are some past sketches done from memory of places I visited, and a larger oil painting done in studio.
