Meyer Devon's hummingbird with colored pencils. (submitted photo) The Hermosa Inn is partnering with Scottsdale Artists’ School for a second year to create a unique and interactive event series, Journaling: Art and Observation, held at the Paradise Valley the hotel. From first-timers to experienced artists, local artist and illustrator Devon Meyer will unlock participants’ creativity and hone their observations skills as she introduces them to the elaborate patterns and colors seen in plants, birds and flowers. The Hermosa Inn is at 5532 N. Palo Cristi Road in Paradise Valley. Ms. Meyer will provide personalized step-by-step instruction throughout the workshop to include sketching and drawing techniques, watercolor skills, and tips on how to use the vivid light and hues of the day, according to a press release. The $85 fee includes instruction, all supplies, including a journal sketchbook, a mimosa and pastries for morning classes, and wine and appetizers for afternoon classes.
