Get Creative with Pete Carthy: Nature Journalist

Pete Carthy is a passionate nature journalist and watercolour artist whose work beautifully bridges the worlds of storytelling and visual art. 


With a deep love for the outdoors, Pete specialises in nature journaling, capturing the quiet wonders of the natural world through both words and watercolour. 


His observations inspire readers to slow down and absorb nature’s intricate details, whether it's the delicate curve of a fern or the vivid hues of a migrating bird. 


Pete not only documents these moments in his journals but also shares his skills through nature journaling workshops and watercolour art workshops designed for all experience levels. 


These immersive sessions help participants connect more deeply with their surroundings while developing artistic techniques. 


As a dedicated artist, Pete also offers watercolour art for sale, showcasing landscapes, plants, and wildlife scenes that reflect his time in the field. His work is featured regularly on popular nature and art websites, where he encourages a community of like-minded individuals to discover the joys of combining art with observation. 


Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned naturalist, Pete Carthy’s blend of storytelling and painting offers an enriching path into the world of nature journaling and watercolour art.

Scottish Borders Council - Nature Journaling course.

A Multiply funded course - 31st August - 5th October 2024.

Evaluation.


The Nature Journaling course was an opportunity for learners to learn about nature and also to begin to learn how to capture that immersive experience through the medium of watercolour. 

Through the experience, learners developed other skills, such as maths, mindfulness, and improving mental and physical well-being.


It was delivered over six sessions on Saturdays at the Focus Centre, Galashiels, with the last session at Wooplaw Community Woods. 31st August - 5th October 2024.
