    Nicely done, I am watching squirrels now and will try to get their many positions on the trees.

    I can see that these warm up activities can help me get comfortable.  Each session should start with some warm ups.   WIN_20191117_13_03_30_Scan

    WIN_20191107_10_40_26_Pro a nice november day.  the tree was farther from my spot, the grasses were close to my spot.  I think the distance is not accurate in the drawing but I like observing outside.  I have a long experience in this spot and it seemed new and fresh today.

    WIN_20191020_08_49_33_Pro I sketched blocks from photo, I feel like the shadows are not quite right.  Carry on. WIN_20191020_08_48_13_ProWIN_20191020_08_47_36_Pro Indoor lighting

    Hi, Craig,  I like the idea of embracing mistakes and returning to ideas.  I too want to continue with photography and how sketching could improve my scene selection.

    I am inspired by all the participants in the class.  I have been a long time observer with written journal entries. I have had a long experience working with participants in nature classes so I have a wealth of knowledge about living things.  It is hard for me to take a walk without naming plants, trees, birds and insects.  I think stopping to look closely at a few things in nature will refresh my perspective.  My goals include understanding how to sketch landscapes, learn to add color and I am hoping this will improve my photos, what to look for. I plan to learn something from my granddaughter ( 2 years old) on observing and experimenting. I decided to sketch a few acorns and collected some for Vida to notice.  She tried pulling the caps off . I wonder why but we did find many separated on the ground. Pat
