I really enjoyed drawing these 2 flowers. I used a picture that I took back in September. There was enough information in the picture that I took to record the flowers and the leaves for each plant. This was really fun. I will be doing more of these types of studies. Thank you!
The "outside the box" observations for me are when I am observing a forested landscape in front of me. I often wonder where to start and am getting a little overwhelmed. For now, I enjoy observing a single leaf or bird, taking a picture and drawing in my free time. The weather is getting cold here and I will probably have fewer opportunities to draw outside.
This is actually my first and only attempt at the yellow warbler. I somehow overlooked this first lesson as I was having difficulty with my computer at home. I am very pleased with my first attempt. This is a work in progress. I ordered the watercolor paints and the book and watercolor brushes as well.
I used watercolor pencils to color the bird. I would like to go over it lightly with water to blend the colors more but I am worried I will ruin what I have done so far. I feel as though I have inproved on my sketching skills. This has been so much fun!
I also like the idea of a monthly journal. I would probably add a little each week to that monthly page in my journal. If it overflows to another page then that’s fine too!
