    Your journals are exquisite!! I can relate to most of the plants that you have shown in them!. The summer passes so quickly and I've been wanting to draw all summer, but the heat and life get in the way, so I live vicariously throught these great youtube artists ! Thanks for sharing what you do, it makes life so enjoyable during those long winter days!

      Awe! It’s always so difficult to start learning a new skill but keeping your drawing as simple as possible is helpful! Also, I did a lot of tracing over photos to help me when I was first learning to draw…it gave me instant confidence that I could eventually learn myself. Thanks so much for watching 😊🌸

    So inspirational. Thank you. I have milkweed growing all over my backyard and I’m always intrigued by it at every stage. Thank you for saying it’s okay to trace. I love art and want to draw like you do so instead of getting discouraged because I’m not anywhere near that calibre since you’ve given me the “it’s okay to trace” permission and I can enjoy doing what I can. I actually have used the pods dipped in acrylic paint to paint abstract paintings. The texture is perfect both soft and dried. lol… Thanks! I’m going to check out all of your videos this fall/winter as my art project.

    • @mynaturediaries4402
      @mynaturediaries4402  День назад

    Love this milkweed page and seed sample in the pocket! The seeds & fluff on the right look like they will fly off the page! Makes me wish I had collected a pod when I was visiting Ontario, Canada recently so I could add seeds to my sketchbook. I will do that next visit! Wonderful page!❤

    I love nature journaling. I have many journals with my drawings of nature, birds etc. but although it has my drawings and observations, they always feel like they are lacking something. Something that looks beautiful as a whole, that is creative and unique in its own way, that draws you in and makes you want to look back at them. These tips and layouts are wonderfully inspiring, thank you for sharing!

    Love this. I so want to do this. I don't mean to whine but I have physical disabilities, and there's a lot of pain. Is it worthwhile to create spreads from plant identifier books? The spreads come from a 1-D experience instead of 3-D.

    • @mynaturediaries4402
      @mynaturediaries4402  9 месяцев назад +2

      Absolutely! A nature journal can be a very personal record of what you learn and discover! So journaling from a book totally works because you are still learning and creating!! Hope you give it a try!! ☺️
