This was a great webinar! Thank you to Roseann Hanson and @wildwonder.bsky.social for making this available. I learned a lot!

I should have added my photo reference. Taken at my frisbee feeder rigged with a frame made of Lego to hold my phone.

As John Muir Laws says, “It’s the pencil miles.” Drawing is a skill that comes with practice. Here are 3 drawings of a Titmouse that I did over about 3 years with hundreds of different drawings in between. 🪶🖌️✍️

Drawn on January 1, 2020. A pencil sketch of a Titmouse that has the basic look of a Titmouse, but is a rudimentary drawing. The very first sketch I did when I started drawing every day…still going today about 1,846 days later. Drawn on December 5, 2021. The same Titmouse as my very first daily sketch. More detail and better proportions than the first sketch. Drawn on January 19, 2023. My third sketch of the same Titmouse. Much better proportions and attention to detail.

There is a Hibiscus shrub next to the parking lot of the place where I buy mealworms 🐛 The summer flowers 🌺 are lovely but the seed heads in winter ❄️ are wonderfully complex and fascinating to #draw

Pen and watercolor sketch of the seed heads from a Hibiscus shrub in winter. Sketch shows an overall view of the shrub the successive enlargements of a small branch, one seed head, and an individual seed. The seed head is like a 3-dimensional 5-pointed star.

I do love a good seed head in the snow. Memories of summer days, the promise of food for #birds 🪶 , and a reminder that #phenology is fun and rewarding.
A small ink and colored pencil sketch of four seed heads from Black-eyed Susan that bloomed last summer. Each seed head has a little cap of snow on it.

I was learning about tracking mammals 🦊 today. I did not expect to track a turkey 🦃 this way 😅 🪶

I think he is right. I started drawing in 2020 and I draw every day. This Titmouse is proof that practice helps!

Me too! I adore the chipmunks 🐿️ in my yard. This little guy dug into an orange 🍊 that fell off the feeder I had out for the Orioles.

Fun with leaves 🍁 and honey. 🌳 🍂
Sugar Maple leaves in yellow fall color stuck to the trunk of their tree with honey. Concentrated group at the bottom of the tree and then dissipating as I couldn’t reach any higher.
