Draw Botanical Presents:
Botanical Sketchbook for All Seasons
Jan. 4, Apr. 12, July 12, & Oct. 4, 2026
Imagine your sketchbook as a personal time capsule and enjoy designing its pages with the spirit of your neighborhood’s budding spring greens, juicy summer berries, fiery autumn leaves, and quiet winter wonders as we grow through our life cycles. Turn an ordinary notebook into a living record of the natural world around you with this Botanical Sketchbooks for All Seasons Full-Year Bundle.
This four-part workshop series is your invitation to draw through the year, noticing more, stressing less, and letting your creativity shift with the seasons. No need for exotic plants or hours of studio time, just your sketchbook, colored pencils and/or watercolors, and the ever-changing world right outside your door.
Whether you’re new to nature journaling or a seasoned botanical artist craving more consistency, this bundle gives you a beautifully structured (yet wonderfully flexible) way to build a sketchbook practice that lasts. Start anywhere, follow one plant or dozens, and watch your pages bloom across all four seasons.
