This coming Saturday April 4, 2009, I’ll be giving a free talk and demonstration about nature sketching in the field. It’ll be held at the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge from 1pm, at the refuge headquarters building, 1101 Casey Road. I’ll be showing my personal sketchbooks, art supplies I use in the field, how I carry things and demonstrating some basic drawing techniques along with how to make a simple field sketchbook for yourself! Please come and meet me and see my sketchbooks and be inspired to go drawing in the field after!
Here’s some links to past entries on my Nature Sketching blog from hikes around the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge.

Hi Mary,

I particularly like your caterpiller illo. I love the magnifying glass in it – very clever.
Nice new blog

Hi Doda, Glad to see you dropped by! Love what you’ve been up to also, you always have nice photos. I’ll be posting when I finally get to come over, hey maybe we can meet if I get up to Scotland? It’d be very cool to go sketching together.
Wow, Mary! I’m so stoked to find your site! You have some really great looking work! I also find joy in artistic endeavors and am so inspired by the incredible collection of yours! Looking forward to seeing all your beautiful pieces!
