- Let's seize the sunny days while we have them and go out sketching in our nature journals! If that's not your jam, you can just go for a walk in nature and sketch when you come back, in the comfort of your home:) Come with me, like this video and subscribe for more!
More about nature journaling (and more to come)

Video about color mixing is out now:)

In this beginner tutorial, I will tell you all about nature journaling, which supplies you need and show you how to sketch 3 simple objects that you can find almost everywhere - a pine cone, a piece of fern and two pieces of bark.
I'll be drawing with a fine liner (xs or 0,3 size) and painting with watercolours in my handmade nature journal - if you want to make it, check out my Skillshare class:

If you like this video, let me know, it makes me smile every time:). I love to answer to your comments if you have any questions or suggestions! Thank you so much for journaling with me!
I love your drawings and you personally. Thank you
Two of my favorite things: sketching and Slovenia!
You know our little country? That's so lovely! I like it a lot, too:) I wouldn't want to move - I like the low crime and lots of nature:) Both great for sketching outdoors - I can walk in woods in the middle of the night here no problem and the nature is gorgeous:) You've made my day:)
I love your style! I homeschooled my children and we did a lot of nature study, now that they have graduated I have been working on my art. I am going to put this into practice and do nature study on my own. New subscriber, thanks!🙂
That is awesome! It is so nice to see that you are still creating after the kids no longer need you to. This is the real art - just for you and your sanity and mood and wellbeing (and everybody around you benefits, of course:). I will post a video about nature journaling in winter - because it can be a bit challenging sometimes when the weather is not so mild - but there are some hacks that make it easier:) I am so happy to have you here - I love nature art and want to bring it to everybody - like the child who has to tell everybody of their little project :D.
PS: I thought about home-schooling, too (daddy was a bit sceptical, though :D). Here it is very rare and public schools are quite good so I made a compromise and they went to school but I got them out as soon as the classes finished - which meant they were at school from 8:30 till 12 usually when they were little :D. Now they finish at 1 or 2pm which still allows for nature and art :)
Thank you,!I found this inspiring and loved the reminder that we can do nature journalling indoors. I'm in the UK and for a lot of the year it's too cold to sit outside to draw and paint.
You are so welcome! I totally get the cold weather not being so inviting to sketching outdoors - I'm always freezing, too! I have some tips on how to nature journal in winter in another video if you're interested, though. It's not the same as in the summer and spring but it's doable with some tricks. However, indoors is always an option - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it - if you go outside and bring something home (either a twig, a pebble or a memory, they all work) you can be inspired and warm at the same time:). I hope you have some sunny days now - we have wonderful weather these last few days!
@@veryartyfairy Thank you so much! Oh great.. I'll go and check out that video. I need to be comfortable to create 😅 We have had a few warm days lately - I'm glad you have good weather!
thank you for this inspiring video! as an urban sketcher sketching mostly in nature, maybe i just found a more appropriate expression!
Haha, I'm the same - when I meet with our urban sketchers' group I always draw plants and people :D. Sketching in nature is more relaxing than in a café or sidewalk in my opinion - it's easier when you're a bit shy about your work as the trees don't look over your shoulder;) and the subject matter is... well... the best that there is:). I hope you get a chance to do some art in nature soon:).
@@veryartyfairyi agree so much with you! and yes, i could draw in nature and even 19 morels!
Wonderful tutorial! I loved watching the shadows go in and how you did the details in the bark. You make it look easy! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! And I worried so much about the changing light - but in the end that adds to the real feel:). It really is not that difficult - those wiggly lines can be wiggly in so many different ways and still look all right:). I'm so happy you found it interesting:) These comments really make my day!
This was very inspiring. I am trying to learn to draw as well as use colored pencils and watercolor paints. I love this idea not only for practicing these skills, but also to learn more about the environment around my neighborhood. Thank you very much for sharing this video.
You are very welcome and thank you so much for your lovely comment! I hope I will bring you many more inspiring videos on those topics - I have the whole nature journal series in the making for the spring and I loooove watercolour so those will sure be featured a lot:). I will get into coloured pencils as well, this was a very timely reminder:).
I totally agree - nature journaling is not just for practicing art skills, it keeps us grounded and makes us love our environment much more - you can't not be a bit happier when you find something beautiful around you - even if it's just a stone or a rock:). Thank you for the idea about coloured pencils, I'll make sure to use them again soon:)!
Lovely video, thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching! I'm so happy that this video of all got so many people because nature journaling is so rewarding - you can't go wrong - it doesn't need to be art:) and you get to enjoy nature - it's the best! Thank you so much for your comment, it really makes my day!
Such an enlightening and inspiring talk 🤍
Thank you so much! I love nature and art and nature journaling is the perfect synthesis so I would love to share that beyond my immediate friends and youtube is a place where I've learned a lot so it seemed it could work. I am so happy that it reached people who love nature, too - like you:).
Hi from Australia, I enjoyed this video
Thank you so much, it's crazy how this little video found its way all the way across the ocean- thank you for sharing that! I loved making it - it was a very spontaneous idea and I'm so happy you all like it:). I have another one with tips on sketching in winter (not that useful for Australia, especially at the moment, though:)) and while traveling in case you'd go somewhere for the holidays:).
🤎 I’m inspired!
Thank you! I'm so glad this helps people with nature journaling - it's a great practice that literally anyone can do:). And it makes us go to nature more often because "we have a purpose" - sometimes we need that;).
Thank you for sharing, dear!
Thank you for commenting - it really makes me happy to see that someone found this and liked it:) I really enjoy sharing love of nature with you:).
please do more of nature!! i love this vid ❤❤
Thank you so much! I will I promise! I LOVE nature and nature journaling! I did one with tips how to journal in winter and what supplies to take on vacation but I have a ton of ideas for each season, etc... I am a bit nervous to what people would need most so if you have any suggestion let me know it will be easier to choose. I made a couple of shorts but I haven't publish any - I am kind of nervous to do that and I have no idea why - there is no particularly good reason not to but I keep putting it off for some reason :D. So thank you for your comment I will get the courage now to do it so you get a new nature journaling video in February!
Great video! As someone who is just starting out, I really appreciate the basic instructions - it's hard to know how to start so this has been super helpful!
Thank you so much! I know how confusing it is when you're starting out - I haven't gone to any art collage and we had zero art classes at Uni so I stumbled my way through nature journaling on my own and picked a tip here and there along the way. The good about this is that now I've found something that works for me and can share back:). I'll make more beginner nature art tutorials - I think we can all use more nature and art in our lives - they make it better - and with nature journaling you get two for one :).
Love your personality and the smile in your voice! Thank you for sharing this and explaining everything. Wishing you blessings in all you do. Keep up that wonderful exuberance! ❤
Thank you so much! I am so so happy that this video of them all reached so many of you because nature and art are my biggest passions - I guess it shows :D. Thank you so much for your comment - it really made my day!
Lovely idea
Thank you for your kind comment:). Nature journaling is a wonderful hobby! It's very accessible and so much fun! There's always something new even if you take the same path every time:).
Nature journaling! Best medicine you can get for the brain.
So true! I know everyone has their quirks but nature and art scientifically proven help most people - so combined they are unstoppable:)
Absolutely
@@darksouth2607 I wish everybody knew and tried that - it's free and sooo much fun while being healthy! (My aunt always said that anything good either make you fat, sick or is terribly expensive :D And I will try proving that wrong, hehe :D.
What an awesome way of leading your viewers to creative habits. Thank you so much for your patience and diligence, Danny. P.S. Your garden in the animation is truly beautiful!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I am not sure if it's meant for me but I'll gladly take it:). It's so nice to find other nature-art enthusiasts:)
I love the results, you make it seem so easy❤️
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! It really is pretty easy to draw organic shapes - they are very forgiving! With portraits, we can see if an eye is 2 mm of but for fern and pinecones we're much less accurate;). Evolution of our brain - it was very important how another person looked at you and if there's something weird about it but for pinecones - as long as they are roughly the same we don't even notice the difference so the natural materials are perfect to start drawing - that's why nature journaling is so much fun - it rarely looks totally ugly - usually it's a nice memory even when our skills are not at the top yet:).
Thank you for this inspiring tutorial.
Thank you so much for the encouragement to make these videos:) I am not very good at cinematography but I would so like to share my love for nature with all of you and I'm so happy whenever somebody sees through it and finds some inspiration:) Thank you!
I appreciate that your presentation is simple and straightforward.
Thank you - I'm so happy for that - I don't like it when you have to wait forever to get to the tutorial but I know I can be wordy so I'm really happy if it works:). I don't know why yt didn't show me this comment before - I'm sorry for the late reply, I hope you get to see it.
Very, I enjoyed everything you talked about before your tutorial. I am at the beginning of being an artist, so I appreciate opportunities to start with the basics. Your presentation was perfect. I subscribed and liked. I probably won't start a nature journal until spring. I am also watching John Muir.@@veryartyfairy
I like the idea of nature journaling. I enjoyed your video and you have inspired me to get creative
I'm so glad! That is exactly why I made it! I'd like to get people to go and try make nature fun and take memories from it because it is soooo rewarding:). I'm so happy this has inspired you - and you've inspired me to make more:).
Good one. Simple way of explaining ❤😊
Thank you very much - it's so nice to read that this resonates with people - I love nature and art and this is just the perfect combo:).
How beautiful. ❤️
You are so kind, thank you so much! I really love this kind of art - it's not so intimidating - the pinecones never take offence if you don't draw them perfectly;). And it's really relaxing!
I have been inspired by your great video to go out and do this. Nature seems so daunting as it's so vast, but small finds like this are doable. Thank you
I know what you mean - I can totally relate - sometimes this art thingy can look quite elaborate and overwhelming... But it doesn't have to be - it can be small and cute and quick:). You can definitely do it! You really made my day when I read your comment:) (it took a while to answer because we were on vacation with a very shaky internet connection). I hope you have a very nice summer and that you record a lot of small little thingies:).
Thank you for this video. You made it so appealing to start my own sketchbook. And I have to admit I could use those tips on mixing colours. My colours are really bright when I paint and want to work on mixing my own.
You're welcome, thank you for your lovely comment and suggestion:). Mixing colours coming up:). I'll record it this week - I am not sure when I will be able to edit it but once it's filmed it gets done sooner or later;). There are a few simple tricks to colours and they are not so intimidating as they might seem sometimes.
The video about the colour mixing is now on my channel:) I hope you'll find it at least a little bit useful and that you'll have a lot of fun mixing your colours:) - it's such a fun and relaxing activity! Premixed paint never looked right to me either - I have to do something to it - I think a big part of it is that I just love mixing it to my exact idea so I make excuses so I can do it:D.
@@veryartyfairy wow thank you! I'm going to take a look :)
Found you and loved, loved, loved your video🎉🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you found me and I'll keep making videos about nature journaling because it combines two of my main passions - nature and arts so... i'd really like to share that - there's so much there to discover:) I hope you'll join me in the process:)
Yes! It will be fun@@veryartyfairy
Hi from Norway. Nice idea, maybe I’ll try this
Great, if you do, please let me know:). We collaborate a lot with Norway because you also have a lot of woods and everybody is enthusiastic about your landscape:). I haven't been there but I believe them so I guess we're both extremely lucky to be able to walk outside into the nature and draw from it:). Thank you for your comment:)
Very nice.
Thank you! I am so happy this video is popular because I love nature journaling and would love to share more on that. Any recommendation what you'd like to see?
I like to see you draw in this timewarp - and explain - at same time… very nice.
Hola,me encantó tu video...saludos desde Argentina
¡Muchas gracias! Mi hermana vive en Bolivia! Y mi hija aprende español en la escuela, pero yo nunca aprendí español así que no soy buena en eso, pero puedo entenderlo bastante bien si la gente tiene paciencia conmigo:D.
Espero que te guste aquí; no sabes lo feliz que estoy de tener suscriptores intercontinentales :). ¡Es realmente divertido! ¡Gracias!
What nice, I like the way you play with the colors. What kind of fineliner you use?
Thank you so much. Sorry for the late reply - this one didn't show in the notifications. I love playing with colours! On the go I use Faber Castel Pitt pen fine liners - you can see them at 2:50 th-cam.com/video/18X9_UDkWYc/w-d-xo.html They have much better and more durable nib and they they hold waaaay more ink than Microns - those are the worse from what I've tried. I liked Staedler fine liners, too, but Pitt pen fine liners are my favourite - they are totally water proof and the nib is really great - I have no affiliation with them, I just like them a lot:).
At home, I usually use a Rotring technical pen which is a refillable pen with metal nib and a cartridge that you just pour their ink (from the bottle) into. They are pricy but very well worth it if you draw a lot. You do have to draw often so they don't clog, that could be a downside - so if you don't use them a lot fine liners are a better choice. But you can also write with them, I use mine all the time and once you have the pens, they work for years and the ink is much cheaper in the long run.
❤❤❤
Thank you - I love nature journaling and it's such a peaceful and free activity - you can do it anywhere with anything. I love the low pressure of cheep supplies and minimal time investment:).
❤🎉😊
Thank you - nature journaling is such a non-pretentious form of art - no expectations, everything is changing all the time so you can't exactly expect anything... but it's so rewarding - sketching in nature is so relaxing...
Salam ❤
Too much bla bla at the beginning and the main part, drawing and painting is just in a rush.
