I started with the branch - that felt easy! Then I worked my way from the bird's tiny toes and legs to its body. Getting the shape of the body was difficult. The legs look funny even though I thought I had drawn them easily! Size and proportions of the bird to the twig are off! I was intent on the patterns and color of the feathers while coloring the bird. This seemed to be something I noticed more carefully since I was drawing/coloring it.

Shaver's Creek, a Penn State environmental center, started offering Nature Journaling classes in January 2021. Since then, a once-a-month class has been held. I enjoy that each class offers a different topic to explore. The approach I've been using is perhaps most similar to the first example: a drawing with observations. I typically use: I notice, I wonder, It reminds me of... as my writing prompts. I have been using black pen, pencil, and colored pencils. I have not ventured into watercolor yet.
