Summer Nature Journal: Watercolor Sketching

I snapped this photo of my neighbor's cow pasture on a morning walk.  I love this vista in any season.  This particular day, the blues and greens caught my eye.
I made a loose watercolor sketch of the scene using the photo above for reference.
When the paint was dry, I added a few lines with my Lamy fountain pen.  The combination of black lines and bold colors has always been a favorite of mine.
When winter comes, I will have a record of the summer's heat and growth in my nature journal.

If you'd like to nature journal with me, there are still a few spots left in my Nature Journaling class at CCBC.
