Wildflower drawing
Draw structure first
Mark the stem axis and large shapes, then add smaller forms. Use a limited colour palette to record relationships rather than chasing every hue. Label any uncertain identification as uncertain.

Keep a seasonal page
Date the drawing and record broad habitat and weather. Returning later may reveal buds, fruit or changed leaves. Verify species names with an authoritative local resource before publishing them.
