I started field sketching during the summer of 2021. One time when visiting campus for the week, I walked to the lake and sat on a bench, waiting to see what birds I would see swim, walk, or fly by. As I waited, I used my watercolors to capture the area around me. Once I saw a bird, I used my binoculars to get a closer look. Still using my binoculars, I sketched a Great Blue Heron and its different poses as it moved. I then took out my camera and snapped a few quick photos to use as a reference incase the bird were to leave. After capturing photos and video, I used my watercolors to add some color and my micron pens to add some definition and movement.
