What is Nature Sketch Crate?

Mission: Enrich people’s lives through art, nature and environmental responsibility.

Bonus: a portion of the profits are donated to an environmental organization related to the subject you are painting. You are automatically making a positive impact on the environment just by buying the box! 

This monthly watercolor and ink nature art class is for beginners; ages 7-87. The class can be taken anytime and anywhere.

Most art classes only address how to create art. Nature Sketch Crate not only helps you to start painting, it also helps you reconnect with nature by teaching you more about it. 

Created for beginners: As easy as an adult coloring book. 

No drawing experience needed! Just transfer the provided image by tracing it onto the watercolor paper, filling it with a few watercolor layers and finalizing it with ink lines. Guided by easy-to-follow instructions created and demonstrated by award-winning Freelance Science Illustrator, Stephanie Rozzo.

Help yourself to feel better with nature and art.

Studies have shown that art and nature can reduce stress, make people happier, and improve memory and attention.

"At any skill level, making art reduces stress hormones: Cortisol lowers significantly after just 45 minutes of art creation." - Drexel University.

“… time in nature was found to have a positive effect on mood and aspects of cognitive function, including working memory, as well as a dampening effect on anxiety." -Stanford news.

What people say about Nature Sketch Crate:




"The step-by-step directions were easy to follow. As a non-artist, I felt confident."

— Betty, Retiree

"Love the information about the flower itself - cool to learn about what you're painting. VERY DIFFERENT from other classes I've taken that don't emphasize learning about the subject matter."

-Lindsey, Experience Architect

"It was so therapeutic! I enjoyed being outside in my backyard and trying to free paint a succulent. Doing a free painting encouraged me to relax around the idea of creating art and not needing to strive for 'perfection.'"

— Kim, Teacher and Mom
