We also have a series of in-person watercolour workshops happening over the summer. They are suitable for all ages from 14 to 104. Some previous drawing experience is an asset, but is not required.

Connect in Nature.
Inspire Our World.
Nature Sketch, a Bateman Foundation initiative, aims to inspire appreciation of the natural world using a pencil and a sketchbook, offering a cultural lens for exploring the outdoors. You will learn about the wildlife and different habitats using established eco-literacy principles and sketching inspiration from world-renowned artist and naturalist Robert Bateman. Take part in an outdoor learning art class in your community, view our free video tutorials, or become a member.
Discovering the creative force within is one of the most magical and empowering moments that can be seen in a Nature Sketch session. Seeing a child have that ‘A-Ha’ moment – the moment they understand their own creative potential to connect with nature using a pencil and know that this creativity will serve them for the rest of their lives, is truly one of the best sights you will ever see.
