AnnParticipantdate: 10/9/19 time: 8:00 am place: Backyard weather: 73 deg, clear, slight breeze B eautiful morning. Mourning dove calling, noise from construction behind us. Grey Squirrel on side yard fencing scolding the dogs. The shrubs look a bit wilted from the drought conditions. What the heck is that huge flying insect? It looks like a dragon fly, double-set of wings and built like a B-52. Dark color. Please don’t fly over here!in reply to: Opening Your Senses #646059

AnnParticipantI didn’t mind drawing from a photo, but I tended to do a complete drawing vs a quick impression. I did like being able to enlarge an area of the photo and look at the details. I’d never be able to do that in the field. On the other hand I only had one point of view using the photo. In the field there would be more interplay with light, and field conditions versus a stagnant view. I agree with the poster that suggested putting a time limit on completing the sketch. This is going to be so much fun!!in reply to: Jump Right in! #645677

AnnParticipantI sketched in pencil, pen & ink for years. Then life got in the way ( school, work and raising a family). I found I drew less and less, until I wasn’t drawing at all. Now I’m retired, child is grown and out of the house. I signed up for the backyard feeder count that starts in November. Then an email arrived advertising this course. Perfect combo. Watching birds and field sketching. Now I can return to my two passions, nature and art. I like the the first field sketching journal. Documenting date,place,time and conditions and the thoughts you are having. I like the last one, but it seemed like finished art vs sketches and impressions. Beautiful work. I think I’ll try and keep a small sketchbook with me at all times. That way if I see something I can catch it. Nature’s all around us, better document it before it’s gone.in reply to: Style Your Journal Your Way #645627
