    Overall I would do things a lot different already.  ;)   Especially with more guidance. I was nervous about most of it. Then I realized I needed to find a balance between trying to make everything perfect and just capturing what’s important. Overdoing it led to some bad mistakes. I think that the photo is easier than movement , you can definitely capture more details, unless your sketching a tree or plant. With animals a still photo will be better for me as of yet. The challenge for me was the bird. I kept wanting to get the right proportions. Then painting was hard because I’m not familiar enough with it, I can see myself enjoying it once I can allow myself to let go and also learn some helpful techniques. The branch was much easier. Now I just need to work on the details, sketching and painting.  I’m excited to learn about the different plants and animals that will soon be filling my journal, and learning more techniques that will help me draw and paint better.  I love seeing everyone’s art as well. Some are absolutely amazing!!! 053CAFDB-88C6-40C5-9267-2C528A43AE37

    I liked the thought of capturing my walks and journeys in a nature journal. I have recently been introduced to painting with water color and have always journaled, so I was excited to take this course to help guide me through this and motivate me as well. i loved all the journals and there uniqueness, I got several ideas for the start of my own.
