Nature journaling seemed like an ideal way to combine a few intentions of mine: to give a kind of structure and inspiration for any art I want to do, and to give me another means for practicing mindfulness and observational skills. I hope it becomes a means for me to focus on my intentions, both with art and with my thoughts and actions in the world. I particularly enjoy the journal styles that blend drawing and notes on the same page, and I like the idea of picking individual subjects, rather than whole scenes, to focus on details, or one particular aspect (e.g. shape, colour, composition, patterns, behaviours). I'm curious to try out different techniques and layout and see which works best for me over time.
