Pictures are nice, but drawing actually gets you into the lesson. The more I drew the more I noticed, the stripes, the grey shoulders and back. The lines in the wings, the subtle brown in the breast and belly. I did not realize how long the birds toes are either, they wrap completely around the branch. If it was just the picture I would have been takes by the yellow and perhaps not noticed the other colors of the Warbler. Drawing from the photo meant that you could draw the bird complete, in the woods you probably would not get a bird to sit that long for you to draw it.

I have been journaling for a long time, I first got interested in and bought Clare Walker Leslie & Charles E. Roth "Keeping a Nature Journal". I am very interested in the different techniques. I found that after awhile I stopped drawing and did more note-taking. I would like to get back to the basics an draw more and write less. As for the different journals, all have an interesting slant and I don't think I found any one any better or worse than the other one. I spend a lot of time on the beach and in the woods, surrounded by nature. I would like to find my own technique perhaps using some of the interesting ones from the other journalers.
