I have never thought myself to be artistic (think stick men...), but a couple of years ago decided to give watercolours a try. I've enjoyed attempting to paint the birds that visit my bird feeder, but mostly by taking photos then painting from them. They are simplistic pictures, but they are mine and I enjoy them! I'm looking forward to learning to record nature as I see it (rather than from photos), and love the idea of recording thoughts and impressions alongside. The monthly nature journal page especially appeals to me!
