I've done nature journaling off and on for a long time, but not in an organized manner. We had a cabin in Virginia where I would take my watercolors and paint what I would see around the cabin sometimes writing in the margins comments about the color or questions about what I saw. These were buried among my paintings in my painting notebooks. I've always admired and enjoyed looking at a whole nature journal wished I could do one. This class is the best way for me to be consistent in nature journaling and just focus on this one area. Spending time outdoors is important and a delight for me.

At first I tried to draw the small bird on the picture, but after enlarging it I could draw a more satisfying bird. By drawing I noticed the variations in color, the shape of the bird's head, feet, tail length, bill, etc. I got a feeling for what the bird looks like. A photo is more accurate and I feel less personally involved with the bird.
