    Hi, Andrew. I was drawn to your journaling. I think it’s the way you interspersed your drawings and your writing, it appears balanced and visually satisfying. I’m also drawn to the images you captured of the duck/s, from different perspectives and positions - very well done. But, I couldn’t figure out what the list of words under your ducks said? I finally decided it must be a secret code! Also, that chipmunk is the sweetest! Happy drawing!

    Hi, Lynley. Your Value Scale is so well done, and I like the way you used the texturing techniques that we’ve been practicing on your scale - wish I’d thought of that! Your drawings are all so nice too. I especially love your little cardinal peeking onto the page. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

    Hi Michael, I really like the way you labeled the key identifying features of the Yellow Warbler . . . “red streaks on yellow” for its underbelly, for example. It makes the drawing and learning process more interesting and more scientific. Now you’ve motivated me. Thank you!

    I’m so impressed that you dove right in and are already drawing such beautiful birds, and in such detail! I especially find the  birds’ wings and feathers difficult to draw. But, you seem to have mastered it with an understanding of the biology and technology of how the wings and feathers move and work . . . not an easy feat. Bravo, Nancy!

    Please be gentle with yourself, as we’re all on the same journey. Some are farther down the path and some not as far as your are. We all started at different times and different places. The very fact that you have committed to taking this class at this time shows a determined interest and desire to create art. Just stick with it. If you don’t understand a lesson, message our instructor and ask her for help. She can refer you to other available sources (maybe a YouTube video or a website) that may reinforce the particular skill or lesson that is challenging you. Sometimes your progress may seem minimal. Then one day, you’ll make a big leap. I’m rooting for you, Stefania.

    Yours is my favorite drawing of the Yellow Warbler. I like the way you were able to create dimension on the bird by showing us the tip of its left wing. And on the branches and leaves with shading and leaf positioning. I’ll keep following your drawings, because I know good things are coming!
