Come, Be Still: International Nature Journaling Week

Day 6: Skies

We spent June 5th out at the lake where the

skies begged to be studied and painted.

But though June 6th was the day for skies,

Elsa and I were out of strength to continue with

daily nature-journaling and had to wait several

days to get back to this theme. Thankfully our

first order of 100% cotton watercolor paper

came during that wait, so we had a better

opportunity to enjoy the process.

(A look back at my painting of the Florida ocean

would show the superiority of this paper for

attempting skies and clouds.)

What a joy it was to play with color again!

The theme of Day 7 was "Ecosystems."

And though Elsa and I watched the teaching

videos to go with it, we have not yet tried it

ourselves. If you want to go back and learn

from the international artist/teachers yourself,
