It’s International Nature Journaling Week. Although I have never done a nature journal I am giving it a shot using photos from a weekend at the Washington Coast. Today’s theme is texture! I printed a photo of a huge driftwood log I took over the weekend and tried to capture the log’s texture with watercolors. Didn’t exactly nail it but the exercise of looking at the massive log and observing the texture, roughness and color on the sandy beach in the sun was quite interesting. Such an exercise really makes the brain see things in a new way and to observe more closely! It really brings me back to my childhood on the sandy beaches of Long Island, gathering shells with my cousins and digging for clams! Now back to the day job of emails, writing, editing, cross checking and running numbers. TGIF! #internationalnaturejournalingweek #westportwa
Trying a mixed media journal to generate some creativity…using stamps from @seattlerecreative, a watercolor journal from @hobbylobby and a beautiful travelers watercolor kit from @marinmontagut in Paris that my daughter bought for me when we were there last month! Using the written word and drawing inspiration from a great seaside weekend on the Washington Coast with my husband. It’s so fun bringing all this together and really having no clue where it will go! It’s International Nature Journaling Week this week so I am giving it a go! #nature journaling #nsturejournal #watercolor
It’s a great rose year in the garden!
Good morning from the Washington Coast! A stunning one for sure!
