Very lovely. Reminiscent of 'The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady' by Edith Holden.

Beautiful tips! I really enjoy your journal pages -- the backgrounds really add a lot to help the nature elements stand out. I'm inspired to take some time adding backgrounds. Also, the shading under your heading looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, it was very beautiful painting!😊 But I have one question: what painting did You use for letters and flower buds? I really misunderstand how You made them disappear...😅

@mynaturediaries4402 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! I used a product called “masking fluid”. Or drawing gum.” You apply it with an old brush ( I swirl the bristles in a bar of soap in order to make it easy to wash off the product when I am finished.) This product is a “resist” and keeps the paper white. Later after the paint is dry, you can rub off the product. I hope that helps! 😊

I love your Nature Journal. Too costly on my budget to have phone, other wise I would try to teach what So many pod cast fail to show when drawing animals, What many pod casts do is to Teach, and then Transfer onto their art paper or Canvas. No teaching to get the eyes, ears, mouth, or the under anatomy to help what direction the fur falls and why. Shapes some see basic shapes in circles, others see body. lighting, shadows, or more the "S" shape of the body a cat sitting. DO: Johnson Grass Very Important, in hot seasons Will Kill live stock, because it develops Toxins to continue to survive. COWS, been known to eat Johnson grass, when season has been in a long drought, and cows Die after digesting. What it does to the blood supply, causing the cattle to suffocate. One farmer found his cow, with her had outside the fence, dead still with grass in her mouth. Just a thought if you were doing wild plants, just might add some of the plants. I love and miss seeing many trillium, bloodroot, Jack-in -pulpit, fire pinks, snow drops. I have a few in my wild patch.
