thank you
Oh my goodness! I just drew a zebra!!! Thank you this is brilliant
This was really meaningful Mr. John! Thanks for investing in my journey!
ah yes the bird presentation
Who’s munching on chips??
it's matt damon!
May I ask you Jack, why do you draw on tissue paper first - why don't you draw right on the paper?
Re: urban nature activities... i would not be encouraging kids to be in a tent on a playground in our cities. I really dont think the folks in those playground tents are nature journaling.
👋So much fun to join the first meeting of NBAA @jim: Aliya Whiteley „The secret life of fungi“ might be interesting for you
Best videos on youtube
Hi Jack. Good as always.❤
How old is Raybonto? He is amazing! And his Dad is so supportive, yea dad!
Enjoyed your video and learned lots but wish you had done a live demo with you actually using the water brush so we could see the motions you used, how often you recharged, when you squeezed for more water, etc rather than used a projector.
Superdrawing🎉❤😊🎉🎉
Super helpful, straightforward explanation for a beginner. Thank you!
I struggle with beaks. I try to draw my parrots and it’s so bad. Good thing my photography is much better than my drawing skills but I’m determined to learn
25:59 Please stop slamming men. Dont slam anyone. The comment is made LITERALLY while slamming the men who created the Endangered Species Act - 1st of its kind in the world.
Love your videos! Is that an Orange Crowned in the ventral 3/4 view, 46:40?
Bird ross
i know a nuerodivergent family when i see one lol <3
you look like you would be a great dad! Good video by the way
Fantastic video
I want to try this later today. Thank you for being such a good teacher .
What an amazing project, I love how Evie and Michaela talk about their adventures and how enthusiastic they are about researching and being a part of this collaboration!
I want to become a birder, and this was really helpful for me. I think I'll have a lot more success in my journaling from now on, so thank you for the video!
its always so fun listening to your lessons, i feel like you really enjoy teaching. thank you
Lots of geometry, fun faces, will try this in the future when I go back to the local wildlife park
yes, a book addict, one of the things I like about the videos, is all the books in the backgrounds, I feel like I am with my Peeps. My husband called it having a Jeopardy mind in a MTV world.
Nature Journaling is one of my deepest loves in life...and these two inspiring persons ...i can watch them for hours...and learn so much... Join us in the clubs...it's so much fun journaling together with others!
I have your book (how to draw birds) - but this video is so much more helpful, thank you!
Is my first time here sub
Very important for new home owners or people who like to go Camping a lot. California had planted so many Palm tress. Not sure if they are even Native to that state, but when they Catch Fire, the trees Send Embers everywhere, starting a whole new fire else where. Many states have Flat Dry areas of an Open Field, But do not let it be, USA has this idea of such areas area are a Waste, and NOT MAKEING MONEY. Being Dyslexic myself , and the LOUSY EDUCATION that SO many 10th graders read at a 4th grade level. This book helps to know your land and home area. In USA or if in another Country, and Caught, Knowing a big open dry area , Like a coral for livestock , the fire will skip on by. I think many people are learning about sense of Awareness has been heighten due to snatch and grabbers, Road Raged. A possible shooter, Walking with phone in hand, easier for some one to snatch it.. Living in a city many know when entering, KNOW the law out. How to get out., where to hide.
After my drive upriver to Crater Lake last Sept. I just had an emotional reaction to the Umpqua Forest fire. Very sad and devastated. Now, I will have to go back in the spring to see the new growth. It has been 2+ years now. Thanks, for all the info, especially on the winds. When I lived in the SF bay area, we had what we called Earthquake weather that we would joke about. Just a strange feeling, pressure systems, humidity, winds??
Invite her back. Love this.
I want to know if the kids are still nature journaling on their own.
Feel better soon, Austen!
Susan's hawk painting in the comic book style, is amazing, it really tells a story. The faint trees in the background add so much depth.
I was in my garden once, and heard a crunch, crunch, crunch, it was a huge caterpillar on my tomato! I was amazed that I could hear him so clearly. He was eating a big chunk with each crunch.
Amazing explanation! THX very much!
Do not think I had seen any of her books, but because of you , I did let two parents know, both have boys that like to draw.
Great video. The live feed was an interesting exercise, intimidating but very helpful. I'm going to try the deep creases in my next sketch.
Thanks so much for this video. I think this is one of the best 3/4 instructions/considerations I've seen on this channel. Emphasis of the throat and underside of the beak was a key new learning point for me. The principles will definitely apply to other things. Thanks, again.
Mr John ,does fastbirds have long primary feathers as common factor? Thank you for the session. I learned more about bird wings.
I totally got inspired! I have to overcome still the typical beginners fears: I can not draw, where to start, oh no the fear of the blank page, to much to soon,... But this video gave me some peace of mind, start small, start! do something. I live in Belgium, a small country with most of the time rainy wheather. I was wondering what to do when its to bad wheather outside... I did not think of just taking any picture of the internet en start drawing from there! So easy. PS how do you zoom in and out? Just by researching? I notice that there are no nature journal clubs in Belgium... unfortunally... I would love to join a nearby communicty!
Gracias
Turkeys have a similar defensive mechanism to chickens where they'll lower their wing to make themselves look bigger.
The woman at the time stamp 2:03:50 has fascinating road kill story. She’s also a very talented and skilled artist. I hope she decides to publish a book with a collection of her road kill findings and other life sketches.
Hi Jack. Thanks. Usefull tips.❤
I admire your passion
