Shadow Hills NJC Meetup. Oct 24, 9am. Crescenta Valley Regional Park.

Join us to share our curiosity and wonderment of nature!

Set your GPS to 4001 Willalee Ave or 3531 Honolulu Ave, Glendale, CA. Park near the intersection of Willalee Ave and Honolulu Ave, on the South side of Honolulu. Under the shady oaks there are several picnic tables--that is where we will meet. Feel free to bring your own chair, and/or towel to cover picnic table top/seat.

Drawing prompt topic (optional): Patterns in Nature, visible regularities of form found in the natural world.

Meet at 9am for introductions; share what we have been working on (~15 mins).

Drawing warm-up (optional): Participate in drawing warm up exercises.

Observe and journal: Use the drawing prompt topic--or sketch whatever you find interesting at our location.

Gather and Share: Gathering again at 11:00-11:15am to share our sketches and observations and discuss tips and tools for nature journaling.

More discussions: If you have questions about supplies or other nature journaling questions, we can continue with a discussion at the end.

Suggested journaling supplies: sketchbook, pencils, waterproof markers, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolors, etc.

Bring: Water, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, etc...

Although we plan to meet at picnic tables (tables may or may not end up in the shade), you may also want to bring something to sit on (small portable folding chair or sit pad) to move into the shade.

Restrooms?

Yes, there are restrooms a short walk from the meetup location; and additional restrooms at Mills Ave and New York Ave.
