@Sue Thank you Sue.

This took a while to draw. Not really clear on the plant or leaves. Enjoyed the process but it was bit frustrating getting the right proportions and angles. Outline came easy but details more challenging. I don't think I would have the time to do this detail in nature because of the time and the changes in lighting and definitely the position of the warbler. I didn't notice the lichen on the branch until I had to draw it.

Beautiful drawing. I'm taking a drawing class right now too and I was informed by the teacher if I want to get better at painting realistic pictures I have to learn how to draw more realistic first. The color tones come more naturally when I become better at black and white tones. You seem to already have drawing down in many ways so you are there and ready for the painting phase. Great work.

1. I was inspired to begin nature journaling because I am now semi-retired and stopped drawing and painting when I left high school 35 + years ago. I always loved birds and hiking since I was 5 years old. I bought some watercolor pens I never used until this summer and got inspired to paint this hummingbird (in my profile). I realized I really miss painting and drawing so I happen to be invited to register and here I am. 2. I like the watercolor journaling idea. I take daily walks and wish I could illustrate what I see but I don't take the time. I have three bird feeding stations in my backyard so I want to be able to capture the feeding birds and birds during my walk in my journal. I look forward to learning more about and taking the time to observe, draw and watercolor.
