    Now, as most will know, my Twitter is strictly spiders but 's is a marvel to behold and a thing of beauty that must leave us all slightly envious. I doff my cap most graciously sir!!

    Amazing! May I ask what is your process for the nature journal? Do you draw the animals from life or observe them and then refine them through reference photos? (I ask because I've tried doing just that but animals are always a challenge)

    I take as many photos as I can in the field and when I get back to my studio I go off them 👍

    Terrific book! Do you use color pencils? I am taking my first drawing from nature class, what tools would you recommend?

    I do, yes. Karisma colours, although they discontinued them in 2005 (I treasure my old set) ... all you'll need is a good set of colouring pencils, some decent fineliners (I use Pigma Microns). And remember - there are no mistakes, just happy accidents.

    I hope you do. It will be great to get kids/readers back into making scrap books instead of doing stuff on the laptop

    I concur. It's so much more rewarding drawing something by hand in a journal you're going to keep forever. Means more.

    Beautiful example of recording thoughts, observations, wonderings and growing understanding. Art, science, language, inquiry! I love the process too in the comments, using multiple photos of the subject to record images and thoughts later - takes it beyond a moment!

    Amazingly beautiful! I had my students after their AP exam last year. Many found it incredibly relaxing. I hope one or two continue to journal.

    Your journal is stunning - as is your taste in music. May I ask what is playing in the background as I can't place it?

    it's called This Feeling by Alabama Shakes. It was the outro music in the last episode of Fleabag. I fell in love with the tune.
