On October 22nd I will be geeking out with my nature journal at the reptile expo in Santa Rosa at the fairgrounds!! It will be a great opportunity to see a diversity of willing models from around the world. As you might know I am passionate about sketching snakes and really look forward to drawing some of the endlessly fascinating color patterns on their skins.
Look for parking at the Veterans hall across the street. 1351 Maple Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95404. There will be paid parking available also closer to the entrance to the fairgrounds. To get into the expo costs 10$. Journalers and sketchers will meet inside the Hall of Flowers. Just come inside and look for people with sketchbooks. Bring your small nature journaling shoulder bags if you have them. I will bring my kit that I use when I sketch at zoos and museums. Also bring snacks for yourself and a potluck item to share. We will probably have a chance to return to our cars for the potluck at 12:30.
