The first time I had to sit down and
draw nature was during highschool. I say ‘had to’ because I didn’t like it at
all!
My teacher was very pleased with the result but I wasn’t. To me nature was
utterly chaos and I couldn’t decide what was important and what not, I didn’t
feel like I was making well considered decisions what to draw and what to leave
out.
Until this day I feel the same way
about drawing (in) nature. There’s so much going on: branches, leaves, twigs,
shrubbery, it’s just too much!!
But I do love nature. That’s why I decided that drawing
outside in nature would be the challenge for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days
challenge of this September. |
