Language of Shadows with Robin Lee Carlson

From crisp leaf patterns to the swirling ripples on water, shadows are full of surprises and information, and learning to see and draw them can give your journal pages added depth and vitality. Join natural science illustrator and author Robin Lee Carlson for a fun workshop where we will explore how shadows reveal shape and movement, and discover creative ways to include them in our nature journals.
