Welcome to Pencils, Paper & Nature

Grab your sketchbook and join us on a virtual exploration of Ontario plants and animals in our online nature journaling classes.

Sketching connects us with nature in personal and creative ways. In each class, we practice sketching techniques while journaling our observations of nature, from original photo and video footage. By using our pencil like a magnifying glass, we discover the treasures and wonders of nature around us.

The aim of each class is:
to encourage nature exploration;
to inspire observations through awareness and curiosity;
and to spark confidence in creating nature sketches.

Please browse our website to view the variety of nature journaling classes available. We offer online classes for individuals, libraries & community groups, as well as elementary schools.
