Dear Creatives,

Today, I wanted to share with you about one of our amazing teachers! You probably know her already but let me introduce you to Natalie Eslick.

Natalie is an artisan, creatrix and serial imaginer. She creates original art celebrating the divine feminine, the fantastical, folk stories and fairytales, forests and our non-human kin. Putting pencil to paper is a meditative act that she delights in sharing far and wide in honor of the abundant divine creative energy that flows through us all.

If you’re a fellow raven lover, like Natalie, enjoy this special warmup lesson from her class, The Raven’s Song. Using simple supplies and a deliberately short time to sketch, you’re going to enjoy this lesson!

We are so honored to have Natalie as a part of our teacher community. If you haven’t already you can learn more about her classes below…

Enjoy This beautiful Lesson from Natalie’s class, “The Raven’s Song”
