SLOW DRAWING NATURE JOURNAL

 I purchased an online workshop from Amy Maricle at Slow Drawing Art…it’s about reconnecting to nature and I thought it would be a good thing to get me back into things for spring - when it comes.

I have done a few prelims (sketchy doodles and then colored in with watercolor bits) and then started the journal (a little square one that has really textured paper so not high end watercolor paper but interesting texture).  






Hoping March and April will bring me some more inspiration as I’ve just been working with things I have lying around the little art room until things start blooming again.

Rhonda this looks like great fun. Have tried just keeping a nature journal but then I get off track and put it aside and move onto something else. Not so good in being structured and focused on just one thing. Right now am doing my best to do 100 small paintings in a year by Leslie Strosz...at least these type of challenges keep us making art. :)! Hey hope you are seeing some warmer days and sunny ones...it is a beautiful day here. Hugs!

It is difficult to get going at the moment isn't it, Winter has felt looooong and February even longer. Sketchbooks will be our saviours. Wishing you blue skies, warmer days and much inspiration.

Thank you, Lisa. Yes, it has seemed so long and so sad with what’s happening in our country but we have art to shelter in, don’t we? Sketchbooks, doodles, videos to watch others create, classes, books, etc. Art will save us and, hopefully, we’ll make something lovely in the process!
