Sketching: Nature Study

Sketch your nature finds. The first step in sketching is to really look at
your subject. Note proportions, etc. For instance notice how many petals the
flower has, which makes it easier to space them accurately. Notice shapes,
and shapes within shapes. Note proportions. Is one leaf twice the size of
the other one? Sketch with pencil and use your eraser. Sketching is a slow
process, be sure to give yourself and your children plenty of time to do the
best you can. Enjoy it and do not demand or expect perfection. Improvement
will come over time, if you keep it up.
