I'm grateful for a bird that is sitting still. My lived experience with warblers is that they don't do that anywhere near long enough for me to sketch!
I never noticed how many toes they have.
I'm happy with my sketch (though it took me some time to muster the courage to try it).
I've always loved the outdoors and have taken to bird watching and bumble bee watching too. I've been keeping a computer journal with photos for the last number of months. Because I have a dog I walking sitting for awhile is generally out of the question, so I will likely be sketching from photos.
My daughter has started sketching daily and I love what she does, so I decided to take this course to learn how to draw. And as I will retire at the end of the year I'm looking to learn new skills.
