I decided not to include pictures, I was terrible, I'm proud to say I could at least find a section of line that looked similar to the picture. I decided I needed serious practice so today I grabbed a sketch book and started practicing. I shut my eyes and drew circles, squares and various shaped lines. On the lines I tried to duplicate length and angle and maintain uniform spacing and on the figures getting the beginning and ends to meet. After a bit of practice I began to see in my minds eye what my pencil was doing. I think with this as a warm up I will begin to see improvement.

1. My nature journal is an out growth of my wood carving. I wanted to improve my artistic and observational skills so that I can carve what I see and not be tied to ideas and impressions of others. 2. and 3. At least initially I intend to use a loose approach focusing mainly on the art but incorporating more observations than I initially intended as well as the freedom to include general commentary and poetic license. . I like the ability to study the subject as well as having stunning art (I’m not there yet) but having commentary on the subject for future reference.
