Hello, I’m Claire Watson (Munday until recently!) - nature lover and illustrator based near Chichester, West Sussex, UK.
I am passionate about our local wildlife, and helping others find a connection to the wild spaces around them. I lead Green Sketching workshops where we discover the joy and mental wellbeing powers of nature through looking and drawing. I use simple drawing activities to help you really notice what is around you, and in the process giving you a tool to slow down and feel calm. The finished drawings are not important, it’s the looking and doing that matters, so neither your finished drawing nor your drawing ability are important. I would love you to join me, please see my current workshops - and I’m always adding more, sign up to the newsletter to stay up to date.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the session, being outside, slowing down, observing the woods and sketching. Claire was fantastic and I was amazed at what I managed to create.” Workshop attendee 2023
“It was great to be given permission to just explore with a pencil. By the end I felt free enough to play with colour and different crayons and pens. I felt better at the end than I expected! Thank you.” Workshop attendee 2023
“A wonderful way to spend a beautiful spring morning. So therapeutic. A perfect way to enjoy nature and catch my breath. Thank you so much.” Workshop attendee 2024
