The shape of the bird came easily; however the details were challenging - the angle of the head, the soft feathers, and the color variations. I found the water colors challenging - to get the colors to come together to create the whole bird and capture the softness of the feathers and the gradations of the coloring. I noticed the softness of the feathers and the reddish brown on the chest that I may not have noticed without drawing the bird. This would definitely make a difference in nature journaling if I can allow these details to come through in my drawing and paintings.

I am new to nature journaling; I have journaled daily most of my adult life. I am looking forward to the observation of the natural world and working to capture that on paper. I love the combination of words and drawings on one page along with spaces for facts and questions - the idea that it doesn't have to be complete at one time appeals to me which is a bit counter to my perfectionist tendencies. I see the course as an opportunity to be free, to experiment and allow the process to unfold. I also want to work on my drawing and painting abilities.
