For those of you who are visual artists, do you like to draw/paint anything from nature?

A sketch of the BRDL for today. Trying to keep my grief pushed aside by drawing silly birds.

There’s some good artwork here!

These are two of my attempts. Many more have ended up in the bin.

Someone asked me to paint this because it’s part of the area they grew up in. It turned out a bit on the bright side, but hey, it’s art, I can get away with it. I experimented with some Bob Ross techniques on this one.

This is what it’s supposed to look like minus the false sky.

This was my attempt at capturing a classic Australian landscape, with blue mountains in the background. I painted it in the style of Len Hend, who you can find on YouTube if you’re interested. He calls his approach ‘bush art’ or ‘loose painting’—watching a few of his videos will give you a good idea of his technique. A good example of his technique can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGTft8LsvXI

i loved being able to scroll through here and see all the the creative forms of appreciation people have for nature! personally i like doing little doodles of animals most of the time:

but i also really like drawing animals that i id on here, like hawks and falcons

for a school project i did make a watercolor “field guide” of local hawk species, which i thought was pretty cool too.

i’m trying my best to work on my field sketches so i can combo my love of observing nature and art, but my experience is definitely limited. im hoping i get better!

once again amazing job to everyone on this thread, your art is so beautiful! <3

A drawing I made today. It was very fun to do, and kind of challenging.
