Sneak Peek: New Nature Study for Missions to Modern Marvels

Post by RookieAce » Fri May 26, 2023 10:01 am

Paint Nature's Palette

We are pleased to announce all new nature study plans in Missions to Modern Marvels. Paint Nature’s Palette combines poetry and painting for a one-of-a-kind approach to nature study! Designed to accompany the new “Nature Painting” plans in Missions to Modern Marvels, this beautiful notebook provides scenic poetry from classic poets, vivid photographs of woodland wildlife and botanicals, and a place to showcase completed watercolor paintings.

Each lesson in Paint Nature’s Palette introduces a new poem about the great outdoors. These poems correspond with the animals and plants students are painting each week following the watercolor tutorials in Watercolor in Nature. As students paint a daisy, an imperial moth, a great horned owl, a swallowtail butterfly, a red salamander, and more, they will gain a fresh appreciation of nature.

Watercolor in Nature

In addition to Paint Nature’s Palette, the “Nature Painting” plans in Missions to Modern Marvels also utilize the beginner-friendly projects in Watercolor in Nature. As students learn to sketch and paint with Watercolor in Nature, nature illustrator Rosalie Haizlett shares insights and step-by-step tutorials on painting the natural world.

Packed with colorful illustrations, inspirational descriptions, photographs, and copies of Haizlett’s own paintings Watercolor in Nature is a joy to use! With Missions to Modern Marvels' unique combination of resources, students will find themselves creating their own Charlotte Mason-style nature watercolors in no time! For ease of use, we also offer a paint kit with needed supplies to complete the nature paintings in Missions to Modern Marvels.
