Wander and Wonder:
Filling a Sketchbook with Nature Inspired Moments
A beautiful plant tendril against a wall. An organic shadow drifting across your path. A small flower growing somewhere brilliantly unexpected.
These moments are easy to pass by.
Wander & Wonder is about letting them stop you. And letting them inspire you.
Becoming attentive to moments of wonder
This course is an invitation to become attentive to the smallest sparks of wonder in your day. A dramatic view isn’t necessary. We begin with small, delightful details. We wander. We wonder. And we let that shape our sketchbook.
There is no need to search for something impressive.
We notice what delights us. Tiny morsels. Tiny moments.
The things that make us look twice.
Your sketchbook is your greenhouse
In this course, we practice what it means to follow a moment of wonder. To take a small starting point and let it open.
We notice. We explore. We repeat. We deepen.
We let ideas grow.
The sketchbook becomes a greenhouse for your ideas. A record of what attracted your attention.
A place where interesting explorations unfurl.
Letting ideas grow
This course is not about finished paintings.
It is about developing a sustained sketchbook practice and staying with an idea long enough for it to become something unique and personal.
A single motif evolving.
Layering materials and approaches.
Depth built through repetition.
Over time, your preferences surface.Your rhythms. Your sensibilities. Your voice.
Something begins to take shape in your sketchbook. A trust in your own way of working
and in your creative decision-making.
A Sketchbook That Feels Like Yours
By the end of this course you will have a sketchbook filled with moments of wonder.
Pages built from things that genuinely caught your eye.
A record of your noticing.
And perhaps something even more significant:
The trust that a small starting point
can grow into a sketchbook full of art that feels like it belongs to you.
If this way of working speaks to you, I would love to have you inside Wander & Wonder.
