JeanneParticipantI think drawing from the photo is easier than being out of nature. You are able to see all the details. I think using the watercolors made it easier to get finish the picture in a fair amount of time. The details of the branch was challenging for me and also those details I would have missed if I just looked at the image rather drawing/painting it. I think that's the point of nature journaling is to see the details. Notice the moss growing, the leave being green, the bird rather plump compared to the ones I see on their migration that are thin from the journey, the background swathed in green. Someone mentioned below that they had a hard time with the beak. I did too. I think the head loos more like a yellow platypus rather than a yellow warbler. I also left no room for words, but I suppose I can write over the paint.in reply to: Jump Right in! #946808

JeanneParticipantI think it's a convergence of many things, from my love of photography and nature, my Dad's watercolor paintings - mostly of flowers, to a friend's family of creative people that when they travel together they create a journal notebook of images, words and art from their trip from their breakfasts to sunsets. It's a really unique way to capture memories. I have a pollinators garden and have been adding items along to bring in the birds and a photograph is taken to quickly, whereas the journals take time and are a great way to slow down the pace of life. Also, sharing my love of nature with my grand-nieces and -nephews as I hope to pique their interest in nature. I really like the first two journals from the video. Shanya's seemed like what I expect to see when I hear the words nature journaling and Jewel's was more like an artist telling their story with color palettes, words, and images. However, all of them had their own individual beauty. As far my own journaling, I think I will wade in and see what happens. And one day hopefully, I will visit the Galapagos islands and share my journal page of the blue-footed boobies and the basking sea lions.in reply to: Style Your Journal Your Way #946803
