Yellowstone National Park 2014 Sticker Design

I love to embellish the front cover of my sketchbooks with a sticker. In 2012, I started designing my own commemorative stickers for my National Park workshops in Yellowstone National Park and in Rocky Mountain National Park.

All my students get a sticker at the end of my classes, because no matter how old you get, everybody loves stickers! The sticker featured in this post is from summer 2014.

If you are interested in learning field sketching with watercolor, there are seats available in my Yellowstone Association Institute Summer 2015. Please contact the Yellowstone Association at 406-848-2400 for more information or to register.
