Drawing from a photo allows me to more accurately draw what I'm seeing. In nature, the subject is gone almost as soon as I have spotted it. The photo made the drawing very relaxing. I felt like I was seeing the bird and the branch she was resting on. While a photograph always has the details, it is not nearly as personal. The drawing is my perception (and drawing skill) of what I am seeing and what is important in that moment. I hope drawing in nature will improve my attention to the important details.

I have made many attempts to keep a journal, but never followed through for more than a few weeks. Memory is so limited without additional cues, so I think a nature journal would remind of all the everyday little things I see and then quickly forget. It would provide a space to record all the little details that are lost, or barely noticed. I would also like for it to become a 'jumping off' point for doing more art work, even simple drawings and watercolors.
