Museville, Akron, Field Guide Notebook Journal 2:00
At Museville Akron, this six week watercolor series is designed for students who have completed Watercolor Level 1 and want to create a botanical field notebook. Each weekly class runs two hours and focuses on materials, technique, and creative growth in a welcoming, supportive setting. A live botanical subject is studied and painted each week, with instruction on approaches for capturing observations in a journal. Participants explore the contributions of notable field journal artists to both art and science, review a variety of notebook layouts, and develop a personal system for organizing entries. Scientific details about each subject are provided so you can decide how much to include alongside your paintings. Instruction combines demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individualized feedback to build skill and confidence. Students will set up a watercolor sketchbook by dividing it into sections, then fill it over the series with studies and notes at a comfortable pace. The course expands on the foundations from Level 1 with more project based work in a collaborative environment. Returning students should bring the paint supplies used in Level 1, and all other materials are provided. Funto Painting Sets are available for purchase on the first day for $30. The full series is $150.
