I've loved doing this course and I love doing my nature journalling. I'm yet to find my 'style' but I am enjoying the exploration of that. My best experience is the improvement. I didn't think I would improve my observing, sketching and watercolours so much in such a short time. I look back and see how much I have accomplished and it is really inspiring. The hardest part has been to let go and experiment. If I do a great sketch its difficult to add colour because it might mess it up. But the risk is worth taking, often I do mess it up, but I always learn something.

I have improved a lot. I did a pencil drawing to make a better comparison. My second drawing is much better observed, with more accurate detail in the branch and the bird. Proportions and negative space are better. I have learned how to see the details and the shapes. I am really thrilled with the result. I’m a lot more confident and enjoying taking the time with my journaling. I expect I’ll improve further.

I’m happy with this. But there was a lot of rubbing out !! 🙄

This was a really difficult exercise. I found the most difficult part was knowing where my hand was on the page. This meant that my end did not get back to my beginning. I think I was able to do the curve shapes pretty well and some of the smaller details.But anywhere where there was a long thin part did not get aligned. I’ve marked in red on my photo the places I think I did okay at.

I’ve been trying this year to add a page to my journal every few days. I’ve also been doing some drawing and watercolour courses. I approached drawing this bird as just drawing it. I intended to draw quickly and tried to draw confidently. I’ve always been more of a photographer than a drawer but I love the focus that drawing gives me and my results are improving. I’m so impressed by everyone’s contributions to this discussion. Here’s mine (note that I am in Australia and we do dates differently. This is dated April 6.)
