“Thank you for your course, Alex. It Was very motivating and so informative. What a good idea to start it in spring, I think it is a wonderful time to begin nature journaling (again). I really like to watch your videos, you' ve got an "easy to understand" way to explain things. And it is obvious that you love what you do.”

An excellent short course for anyone new to nature journaling or looking for new ideas to re-start this absorbing hobby. Alex Boon's course is thoughtful, practical and packed with useful suggestions and advice. Particularly helpful is his suggestion of the two-journal method, which frees you of anxiety about 'making a mess' in your lovely new sketchbook. Also, his suggestions about choosing a focus for your journalling and feeling free to position yourself in various places within the Nature - Art - Writing triangle are very helpful. Lots to get you going here.
