This is my first contribution to the Sketching in Nature group and I'd like to introduce myself. The main medium I've worked in for many years is gouache. For a full size painting (a full sheet of watercolor paper) I spend anywhere from six to ten weeks. For some of my botanical studies, done strictly from life, I work off and on during the plant's life cycle and if I happen to miss a phase I put the painting away until that phase comes around the next year. Needless to say, after doing that for many years I began to look around for an alternative way to record the things around me that didn't require such a committment of time. That's when I was lucky enough to run across Kate's watercolor pencil workshop in early 2008. I will never give up gouache because I'm an addict when it comes to detail, but I've also developed a love of watercolor pencil and pen and ink. I had to give up art entirely for well over a year because of near blindness, and as my vision began to return and I reconnected to the internet, what was one of the first things I ran into? -- Kate's Journaling class! What an inspiration she and my classmates have been. Starting January 1st, 2010, I began a journal dedicated to nature subjects and these three images are selections from it. I've enjoyed browsing through all your posts here and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

We have often said time and again, that mother nature is the best artist in the whole world and we are sure that most of you would agree with us. Not only is mother nature a great artist, but she is also a great source of inspiration. That is why you have an art form that is called botanical art where plants and other such vegetation is depicted in art form. It could definitely be counted among nature inspired works of art that will make you smile and we are sure that you will soon be hunting art supplies to start doing some botanical art of your own. The thing about nature is that you not only want to replicate what you see but you also want to add a few touches of your own.
