How to Bring Art + Nature Into Your Daily Life

Here are a few practices that help me stay grounded and inspired:

๐ŸŒž Morning Light Check
Go outside and look at the quality of light for 30 seconds.

๐Ÿ‚ Texture Walk
Notice textures: bark, leaves, soil, petals, stones.

๐Ÿ“ท One Photo a Day
Capture one thing that catches your eye.

๐ŸŽจ Seasonal Color Palette
Create a palette from whatโ€™s blooming (or fading) right now.

๐ŸŒธ Keep a Garden Sketchbook
Sketch, clip a leaf, paste a photo, write a color you saw.

You donโ€™t have to identify as an artist for this.
This is simply learning to see.
