1.I enjoyed drawing the warbler from the photo. what was easy- getting general head/body/tail shape and rough in of color markings. more challenging was getting the beak shape. and also the lichens and moss? on the branch
2. drawing the scene rather than photoing it made me slow down and really look at the subtleties of the shading on the warbler's head, shape of its beak and also the lichens and moss on the branch. -
I wanted a way to slow down and interact more thoughtfully with the natural world around me. I want to try being less concerned with capturing an entire "picture" and more focussed on seeing the shapes, and details that will help with identification, but also with using the process as a way to more thoroughly understand what I'm seeing. I'm inspired by other's journals to try adding in verbal description and thoughts to my visual journals.
