Nature & Nurture: Louisa May Alcott, Laura Ingalls Wilder, L. M. Montgomery

In this class we will spend six weeks immersed in the nature that surrounded and inspired the lives of Louisa May Alcott, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and L. M. Montgomery. We will discover how deeply nature influenced them as persons and as writers. We will use these discoveries to guide our own nature exploration and nature journaling.

Each week also includes a “tea time” video for discussing either the author’s works, or the literary influences on their life and work. Recipes are included as well as painting tutorials so you can paint the food and teacups into your journal.

You will receive six weeks of video instruction (94 videos) that include technique videos to guide you in your drawing and watercolor journaling. Handouts are available by pdf along with a list of suggested nature journaling prompts and techniques to try.

This class is designed to take you anywhere from 2-6 hours or more each week, depending on how much time you are able to set aside for nature journaling and nature exploration.

Art materials are not included and must be purchased separately. You can find the recommended supply list here.

Age: This class is created for adults and high schoolers but may also be enjoyed by younger students.

Cost: $225

Each class purchase is licensed for use with one physical household.

Class purchases are available to you indefinitely (guaranteed for two years).

“I loved the multifaceted approach to this course and the fact that even though I was completely overbooked at the time I can still complete it at my own pace. The resources and instructional videos are phenomenal!”

“This is a marvelous class! What a treat to learn about the nature and the literature that influenced these writers! And cake on top of painting!!!! Heather is a patient and excellent teacher. Take her classes. You will learn so much and love them!”

“I used this course as a homeschool lesson for my 16 year old daughter. She loves “Miss Heather” and leaned a lot about the authors and painting. I highly recommend these courses!”

“This course was designed with intention. . . it is an individualized experience where participants do not have to do EVERYTHING, rather you can do what you like and leave the rest for another time. The videos each week were a real highlight and the nature walk prompts were some of my favorite. Heather is a lovely and knowledgeable instructor that has created something special. I think that anyone who has an appreciation for nature and a curious mind would love this class, I know I did! – Jen Funk (not an artist :)”

“The curriculum is so thorough and well researched and the tutorials are easy to follow.”

“This is the most fun I’ve had taking a class and the work and care Heather has put into this class shows”
