Hi everyone,
1. I was thrilled when I found out about this course - I've always loved art and drawing, animals and nature. I grew up in the US, but now I'm living in Brussels, Belgium, so I also liked the connection with the beautiful birds and wildlife I remember growing up with. I'm especially looking forward to seeing everyone else's drawings - please share them on the discussions!
I'm attaching a drawing of a fox I saw just a few days ago - the first time I ever had such a good view of a wild fox!
2,3. The nature journals in the video were all appealing and interesting because of the personal take they represented from each observer. I particularly liked the light watercolor washes in some of the drawings. I was thinking of focusing in my journal more on the art side of the experience of drawing nature - trying different styles and techniques for each subject, thinking about how others have portrayed the same subjects, etc.
