Daily Paper Prompt #28: Garden Sketching

The prompt is to go out into the garden and sketch what you see. Individual plants, randomly drawn on your paper. Not the whole scene. The details. No order. Pencil {without erasing}, pen or marker. Think of this as DOCUMENTATION rather than art. You are simply trying to CAPTURE the shapes so that you can remember what they looked like. Does the leaf have a deep vein running through the center? Are the tips of the petals pointy? Is the rock a circle, or more oval, and is there an indentation? Sometimes you have to squint to SEE what you want to see. We aren't drawing the entire scene, just picking out bits and pieces and documenting. Nature journaling.

Great prompt! We had fun with this one (until rain stopped play ;-)). http://livegrownourishcreate.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/daily-paper-prompt-28-garden-sketching/
