Twigs - nature journaling

You say nature isn't that inspiring now that it's not green yet and there's no snow? Well, there's always something to be inspired about in nature - even the little most mundane things like twigs! Check it out!

I literally just got home with some twigs to paint for the first time ever. Very timely that this popped up. I love what you did!

[@veryartyfairy]

Awww, that just melted my heart! I'm so happy if this little ideas find their way into someone else's home and maybe make someone smile:). I enjoy nature so much and would so like to share that love - I'm so happy you help me do that:) And so grateful for your encouragement - that is so sweet!

What a lovely surprise, it has inspired me

[@cindylurns]

I really enjoyed this video/tutorial. Thank you so very much for all you do. 😊 I can’t wait to give this a try,

[@veryartyfairy]

Have fun! I'm so happy you enjoyed it:). A new one on flowers is coming up as I type this:). I hope you get some ideas from that one as well (I drew with a twig:) - I got the idea while making this video but haven't gotten until now). Thank you so much for your lovely encouragement!

Been rainy and drab here as well, but not very cold, only in the 40's range, and will warm up next week. My Daffodils are blooming so pretty! Love your twigs!! You always inspire me with your artwork!!

Rainy and gray over here as well. Will try with twigs from my neighborhood.🎉🎉

[@veryartyfairy]

It's the rainy season (at least in Europe) so yea, rain on the field, rain on the way to work... but we can still find great art prompts in nature even in the bare winter woods:). But spring is coming:) - we don't have daffodils yet (my favourite flowers) but we do have snowdrops and crocus. Maybe I should do something with flowers soon to celebrate them? Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement it really means a lot to me!

This video is really informative! Not only does it provide tips for artists, but also it's a great tool for learning how to identify plants! You are absolutely lovely, i love seeing how genuinely excited you are about creating artwork. I'm so happy YT has been showing more videos from independent creators lately; I'm able to come across absolute gems like this❤

[@veryartyfairy]

Glad it was helpful! That was such a nice review I'm so happy:) I never thought you could identify trees so good just based on one twig - but he can tell you for any little sprig where it came from, just amazing! I'm not that good yet but as guys called me "budding dendrologist - no pun intended" I guess I'm on the right path:). I really love art, it's my escape into the dream world and that often mixes with the nature world because nature is very magical and it never ceases to be even if you study it for decades... I'm also very happy about the new yt algorithm - it's hard to find new creators sometimes and it's hard to keep making videos if you don't know if there's a single person watching or getting something out of it so comments really help:). Thank you so much for that!

This is such a great idea! I need to do it! I have been struggling to identify trees

[@veryartyfairy]

You can do it! It seems complicated at first but you learn the basics really fast! Give it a go - it's fun and you learn something (let's call it investment/ prevention against dementia :D)

[@Barbara4ox]

So cool 😍 thank you for sharing.

[@veryartyfairy]

Thank you too! I really love to see the beauty in ordinary things - it makes the whole world magical - even the grey winter forest:). Of course, now the nature is magical in any eyes with all the colours!

Very, you are amazing and inspiring. When I get around to trying this, I will get back to you and let you know how it went.

[@veryartyfairy]

Please do! Thank you very much - comments like this always make my day:). I'm so happy if the technology can bring some ideas how to get into nature and enjoy art - there's good things to everything, let's use it:). And if nothing else, people usually don't get sadder after an art video as they do after watching other content sometimes and that's something:).

You are so sweet :)

[@veryartyfairy]

Thank you - twigs are always available - almost everywhere:). Shamrocks will be out soon, though:). And today it's St. Patrick's day so 🍀☘ are appropriate (well, actually, I messed it - the 4leave clover is not Ireland's symbol - David Nihil has a great comic bid on this on yt:) but shamrocks and green hearts are so I hope Irish will forgive me:)).
