I feel like I need more work on my values, but this was a good lesson moving forward. I like crosshatching, but I have to be careful not to over-work it! Getting the reflective light was key to a 3D effect! I got inspired to try drawing my dog because she is black and white.

1. My partner and I took the Cedar Waxwing class with Liz. My fist watercolor! We are both artists, but I would like to learn to journal more in nature (meaning more discipline to do it!). I draw, but do not paint, and would like to learn. I am more of a 3d artist (blown glass). My interests are in birding, beekeeping, and fly fishing. I tie most of our flies, so I consider myself an amateur entomologist. I also do a lot of photography of all of these things. I would like to have a more personal touch of hand drawn experiences with our adventures. 2. Stylistically, I like pen and ink with watercolor. I also liked the daily or monthly sketches, for discipline. 3. What I need is more practice! I am confident that I will come up with a system that works for me. Thanks for the inspiration!
