Episode 7 - Subjects Big and Small

In this video, our field visit to Belleplain State Forest had us exploring miles of trails through a great variety of diverse winter woodland habitats found across the Pinelands of New Jersey, all in one 23,000-acre protected landscape. #naturejournal #naturejournaling #fieldsketching #

At home and at the table, I demonstrate how I composed and developed a two-page spread in my nature journal that features both close-up illustrations of two species of understory plants and two associated scenes that show the different habitats in which they grow.

For all the episodes in this playlist I am using a US Art 5.5" x 8.5" watercolor book, 75 pages, 110lb cold-pressed watercolor textured paper. https://a.co/d/hsLL9RG

My watercolors are from the Winsor and Newton 14 half-pan travel set kit.

Thanks to the Cape May and Lewes Ferry for the great round trip ride from Delaware to New Jersey and back on those rolling waves! It was fun and very birdy. https://www.cmlf.com/
