That certainly was a test and amusing for sure. Not posting my attempts. I did fairly well on the Bird of Paradise I think because its lines were straighter. the other three were well, lets not discuss. Can definitely see where this skill would be usefull in the field. Great exercise and I am going to keep trying!

I found it somewhat easy to copy this, my first attempt, though it was very small and I felt quite stiff. I say relatively easy since with a photo your subject is static which gives you time to start, stop, erase, start over. I was pleased with my first attempt and I am encouraged to plow ahead. In the photo, I think the shading is more noticeable than through observation, and the lichen might have been missed. However, i don;t think those details this would would be my main focus but overall observations.

Hello All. My name is Ellen (there seem to be a few of us I see). I have recently retired settling on the New England coast. I spend a good deal of time exploring my new environment and wish to chronicle my sights and feelings. I hope that by doing so I may inspire my children and grandchildren to take time to see more and and take more care of our natural world. That being said, I am thinking I will take the approach of dating, weather observations and location hen add sketches and pertinent observations. I want to go back and remember those moments that has me stopping to watch a bird or snail, see an unfamiliar flower and more. So I believe I will incorporate ideas from the first and last journal examples.
