    hMFma4PKSe6ElnKRkVxXwQ First I painted the chiminea, then I came back and added the foreground and background.  I haven't had time do a landscape  at my favorite spots yet.  But I'm looking forward to increasing my skills.  I'm having a lot of fun especially mixing the colors.  I'm looking forward to adding color to my journal.

    I tried some pansies with the wet on dry technique. (Didn't know that was what I was doing when I painted this>)  I was mainly trying to match the colors. This is the first thing I have ever painted.  I'm not sure how to work in all of the details using water colors. I would like to use water colors in my journal, especially when coloring the birds I see.  Also leaves and plants. IMG_4343

    This was fun, but difficult.  The feet were really hard. I was able to view the subject as a collection of shapes and lines.  I have never drawn anything but stick figures - I hope I can get better with practice. I love this course.a1KEk%ywSuuQyPsjDEMbEw

    This wasn't easy.  The best thing about this exercise - again is to help me become more observant.

    I have been putting this off because of rain and then we had a hard freeze last night so there went the flowers.  So I chose the berries.  This assignment is great because it is really helping me to be more observant.  I'm having fun with these challanges. Hnkh1ZCuQM6cYtPpYLuyLA_thumb_6c6c

    IMG_4328IMG_4329This is really fun.  I love writing down my observations, explanations, and questions.  I haven't figured out my style yet, but hopefully I will before the end of this class.

    Drawing the photo was challenging for me.  I am NOT an artist.  None of it came easily for me.  But I think the biggest challenge is the patience to get all of the details in.  I would not have noticed the moss and lichen if I had not drawn this.  I am lacking details on the warbler, but I hope I can get better.  I am excited to learn how to journal and sketch!IMG_4236
