I enjoyed this exercise. Although it was scary to jump in with no instruction, it allowed me to think more about where I'm at right now, and how I'd like to approach the course. One of my goals is to improve my skills using Procreate on my iPad. This gave me the chance to try setting up what a page my nature journal might look like (taking inspiration from Jo Brown's "Secrets of a Devon Wood"). I can now keep this as a template, or try something new next time. Sketching the warbler gave me a chance to try new brushes. I got carried away trying to add color... Something that has been challenging for me is to let myself leave a piece incomplete. I had fun trying even more painting techniques and was happy with the progress, but decided to hide those layers for now and ultimately leave it as it is. In the past, I'd feel conflicted about this, but today it feels like the best choice. Looking forward to returning to this warbler friend at the end of the course!
